SysFEAT - Systemic Framework for Enterprise Architecture & Transformation

PROPERTY - Architecture principle

Description

Architecture principles are general guidelines (Policy) that serve as constraints that guide design decisions and shape the overall structure of a system. They:

- Establish boundaries for design choices.

- Ensure consistency across the system

- Promote desired qualities (Condition Property: e.g., scalability, maintainability)

- Align architecture with business goals and requirements

Architecture principles act as guardrails, helping architects make informed decisions while limiting options to those that best serve systems' efficiency and robustness.

Functional Domain: Operational Assurance

The Operational Assurance domain provides a framework for systematic and evidence-based methodologies for ensuring that an enterprise's processes, systems, and services consistently meet defined trustworthiness criteria across multiple domains, including privacy, safety, security, business continuity, and quality. It establishes a structured framework for:

Block Member	[*..0]	Building Block	Aggregate Block	A Block Member is an Aggregate Member that aggregates its releated Building Block by reference (see Referencing Relationship).Block Members are used to build network structures of Building Blocks while Hierarchical Members are used to build hierarchical structures of Building Blocks.
