This is the last in a series of postings on Architecture standards. Throughout the series we covered architecture standards from various angles ranging from business value, implementation aspects, and the operation of an effective architecture standards management practice. In this posting we will give a short summary and list the essential take-away messages from this series.
Strategic Architecture

Architecture standards: Wrap-up and summary
This is the last in a series of postings on Architecture standards. Throughout the series we covered architecture standards from various angles ranging from business value, implementation aspects, and the operation of an effective architecture standards management practice. In this posting we will give a short summary and list the essential take-away messages from this series.
Architecture standards: Governance
This is the
sixth posting in a series on architecture standards. In previous postings we discussed
the standards terminology, the documentation of architecture standards as well
as the embedding in the organization and the life cycle of architecture standards.
In this posting we pick up the thread and dive into the governance of standards.
Architecture standards: Life cycle
This is the
fifth posting in a series on architecture standards. In previous postings we discussed
the standards terminology and the documentation of architecture standards as
well the embedding of the standards practice in the organization. In this
posting we discuss the life cycle of standards.
Architecture standards: Embedding
This is the
fourth posting in a series on architecture standards. In previous postings we discussed
the standards terminology and the documentation of architecture standards. In
this posting we pick up the thread and dive into the embedding of the standards
practice in the organization. As mentioned in the introduction, well defined architecture
standards do not live in solitude. The relationship between similar concepts in
other parts of the organization, such as corporate strategy, policies, tech
standards etc. should exist and maintained. The “art” of embedding is an
important topic, because the linkages are essential but could easily lead to a
rigid and complex system, inhibiting its effectiveness.
Architecture standards: Documentation
This is the third posting in a series on architecture standards. In the previous posting we presented some basic terminology. Most importantly, we distinguished between standard rules, and standard components. In this posting we pick up the thread and zoom in on the documentation of standards. In order to do so, we kick off this post with an analysis of how/ where standards are used, and “derive” a template from that.
