Description
The Standards Roadmap (Sd-Rm) domain shows the expected changes in technology-related standards and conventions, operational standards, or business standards and conventions. It defines the underlying current and expected standards. Expected standards are those that can be reasonably forecast given the current state of technology, and expected improvements/trends.
The Standards Roadmap (Sd-Rm) domain is a detailed description of emerging standards relevant to the systems, operational, and business activities covered by the Architectural Description. The forecast should be tailored to focus on areas that are related to the purpose for which a given Architectural Description is being built, and should identify issues that affect the architecture. The Standards Roadmap (Sd-Rm) domain complements and expands on the Standards Taxonomy and Standards Traceability views and should be used when more than one emerging standard time-period is applicable to the architecture.
One of the prime purposes of this model is to identify critical technology standards, their fragility, and the impact of these standards on the future development and maintainability of the architecture and its constituent elements.
The intended usage of the The Standards Roadmap (Sd-Rm) domain includes:
- Forecasting future changes in standards (informing project strategy).
Implementation
The Standards Roadmap (Sd-Rm) domain is implemented by Standards Roadmap table.
