MGCA Architecture Options and Decision Pack

WHO IT IS FOR

Solution and enterprise architects comparing options for a project.

WHEN TO USE IT

A three-option weighted appraisal, mandatory feasibility gates, cost assumptions and an editable decision record.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

SCOPE

Three options are supported. Criteria and scores are editable judgement inputs, not objective certification. There is no automatic architecture recommendation. The pack does not supply solution designs or a financial forecast.
