Architecture Vision
4 Purpose
The Architecture Vision is created early on in the project lifecycle and provides a high-level, aspirational
view of the end architecture product. The purpose of the vision is to agree at the outset what the desired
outcome should be for the architecture, so that architects can then focus on the critical areas to validate
feasibility. Providing an Architecture Vision also supports stakeholder communication by providing an
executive summary version of the full Architecture Definition.
It may be that the Architecture Vision is documented using a wiki or as an intranet rather than a text-
based document. Even better would be to use a licensed TOGAF tool that captures this output.
This template shows “typical” contents of an Architecture Vision and can be adapted to align with any
TOGAF adaptation being implemented.
