Theory 20 minutes + Workshop 60 minutes
Duration: 80 minutes. Artefact produced: executive architecture pack.
Module Overview
Open with the decision required, not the document history.
Support the recommendation with baseline, options, risk, and roadmap evidence.
Choose the minimum artefacts required for an executive decision.
State the approval, funding, authority, or direction required from the forum.
Theory
An executive architecture pack is not a storage place for every diagram produced during the engagement. It is a decision instrument. It must show the problem, the recommendation, the trade-offs, the risk position, the roadmap, the funding or authority required, and the consequences of delay.
Workshop
Use the course artefacts produced so far to assemble a concise architecture pack for an executive decision forum.
Create an executive pack outline with a one-page decision brief and supporting artefact sequence.
Explain why each page in the pack is needed and what decision it helps the forum make.
Pack outline; decision brief; recommended artefact order; approval request; risk summary.
