Explain the Value
How will this benefit the team going forward? Explain to senior leadership.
When and How to Govern?
Solution Design |
After requirements have been aligned to features and solutions |
Solution Approval | Before a solution design, or statement of work (SoW) that proposes a solution, is agreed |
Architectural Reviews | During regular architecture group meetings and discussion of proposed changes |
Change Management | Before a release or change is approved for deployment |
Managing the Principle Lifecycle
No hard and fast rules at how often you review your principles, but look for scenarios that should trigger a review. When might you see a major change in business plan or IT strategy? Would a principle review make sense then?
Owner | Who is responsible for wording updates, version control, any other queries |
Version | Use a versioning to make it easier to keep track |
Status | Make it easier to identify where in the lifecycle it is |
Review Date | When should this be reviewed for accuracy and relevance |
Retirement Date | When was this principle removed from use |
