Reference Architecture

PRO

Define a reusable target pattern teams can design against.

Define a reference architecture for a domain or capability — principles, logical layers and building blocks, patterns, standards, and the guard-rails solutions must follow — that individual solution designs can be measured against. Use when asked to define a reference architecture, a target-state pattern, a solution blueprint, or architecture guard-rails for a domain.

Ask for it in plain English, e.g.

“reference architecture”“target-state pattern”“solution blueprint”“architecture guard-rails”
