  • Id: unique identifier of the Architecture Roadmap Item

  • Name: name of the Architecture Roadmap Item

  • Status: lifecycle status of the Architecture Roadmap Item

  • TargetDate: planned date of the realized architecture of this specific Architecture Roadmap Item

  • Roadmaps: name of the roadmap(s) that will contain one or several Architecture Roadmap Items

  • Description: description of the Architecture Roadmap Item

Key Data Object Relationships

The Architecture Roadmap Item data object shall maintain the following relationships:

  • Architecture Roadmap Item to Product Backlog Item (n:m): establish what major program increments will implement the Architecture Roadmap Item

  • Architecture Roadmap Item to Value Stream (n:m): establish which value stream will be created or improved by implementing the Architecture Roadmap Item

  • Architecture Roadmap Item to Architecture Blue Print (n:m): establish which blueprint will be supported by the work in the Architecture Roadmap Item

  • Architecture Roadmap Item to Strategic Objectives (n:m): establish the strategic rational for a given Architecture Roadmap Item

  • Architecture Roadmap Item to Policy (n:m): multiple Policies might be applicable to the Architecture Roadmap
