Approach A divided subset of an Architecture facilitates its development and management. A specific form of abstraction. Defined boundaries, governance and ownership This may lead to serveral architecture partions One owning team Architecture are partitioned such that there is a single team owning the Architecture Multiple Architecture Partitions A single team may own multiple partitions, but a single Architecture cannot be owned by multiple teams. The team will execute the ADM to define, govern and realise the Architecture. Adopt a partitioning model that reflects the Enterprise Operating Model. Benefits The theory is that partitioning will simplify the development and management of Architectures - Note if this is not the case the review the approach and alignment to the Enterprise Operating Model. ...
