Theory 20 minutes + Workshop 60 minutes
Duration: 80 minutes. Artefact produced: current and target architecture view set.
Module Overview
Show the existing architecture clearly enough to identify constraints and inherited risk.
Show the intended future architecture as an executable direction, not a wish list.
Explain what each view helps decide.
Describe the path from current to target without pretending the change is instant.
Theory
A current-state view explains what exists and why it matters. A target-state view explains what should exist and what decisions must be made to get there. Good architecture views are selective. They omit noise so the decision problem becomes visible.
Workshop
Use the migration scenario to create a current-state view and a target-state view that show the major business, application, data, and technology changes.
Create one current-state view and one target-state view, then write the transition logic between them.
Explain what the target view changes, what it preserves, and what decision it requires.
Current view; target view; transition notes; decision statement; top risks.
