Provide impact assessment on effect on the business architecture.

A key element of the decision process will be the impact on business architecture.

It might be a great idea but not fit into the future architecture, which in turn would need a decision on whether to adjust the architecture or not to accommodate the opportunity or threat.

There may also be in an impact on the effort needed from the business architecture team at some point.

Confirm business architecture plan.

The analysis will have been undertaken at the Idea Strategic Assessment milestone, so at this point your concerns should have been considered and the impact on the business architecture.

A plan should now be in place to adjust architecture artefacts to accommodate the idea if it proceeds.

Confirm the level of involvement required from business architecture.

Involvement will depend on the level of impact on the business architecture and the significance of the change.

It may be that you only need to be involved in the gate reviews rather than sitting on the actual programme and project boards.
