Architecture Blueprint is one of the three compliance templates available in OER PS6. In Chapter 4, Initial Configuration, it was explained how to create and apply a Project Profile compliance template to an existing project. The process of creating and applying an Architecture Blueprint is fairly similar to a project profile, however, its purpose is slightly different.
Architecture Blueprints can be used as the means to predefine which Assets apply to more than one project (for example, technical standards, require environments, frameworks, amongst others). This feature can be very useful for architects, for example, to convey architectural requirements and the Bill of Materials (BOM) to the downstream (or outsourced) teams in a noninvasive fashion.
In the following example, it will be shown how to create an Architecture Blueprint that will articulate the expected deliverables in accordance with Weir & Bell Telecom's governance framework.
