Today’s short blog, the first for 2024, derives from recent work in which I required a classic Table of Contents (TOC) for a Solution Design( SD ) Document/ Artefact. To create this TOC, I began by listing elements one would expect to see in the artefact i.e. primary section headers, which is challenging when you consider the ‘ purpose’ of the document, and the target audience both of which impact the overall structure of the document. For most artefacts, it would be prudent to tailor the SD to meet the needs and challenges of the specific problem. For example, a basic SD for a new in-house development may be very technical, especially when the target audience may be the Systems Community ( Developers, Testers, Service Management etc.) and resulting in an artefact with the content and focus on Component Views(Building Module Blocks) , Deployment Views and the Runtime Operations . So, when I considered the elements for the SD Artefact I wanted...
Thank you for visiting my blog. Having not posted any new content during 2024 I thought I would give a quick update. I have been busy working on Client engagements and developing our new Global Regulatory Directory (GRD) / Sanctions Portal ( www.kyc-data.com ). Having paused work on the Solutions Architecture Book – I plan to restart in 8 weeks and will be posting snippets throughout the development. Hopefully it should be out in draft and available towards the end of the year. Thanks for visiting and expect some new content soon

Earlier today, while reviewing a document I produced some time ago, I discovered a useful Non-Functional Requirements (NFR) checklist and thought I would simplify , ‘repackage’ and share via this blog. NFR checklists are not unique products, they are easily found on the web with numerous examples available for reuse, one such example can be found at the Open Group’s website under the ToGAF Requirements Management section. Most of you are probably familiar with NFR’s – However if not, you can consider them a set of requirements/criteria used during the run-time operation of a system and not the specific behaviours that the system must exert. The NFR’s vary in importance and are usually aligned to the context of the system e.g. Operational Safety could be classed as a NFR, especially when working in hazardous conditions (...
