Statement of Architecture Work

4 Purpose
The Statement of Architecture Work defines the scope and approach that will be used to complete an
architecture project. The Statement of Architecture Work is typically the document against which
successful execution of the architecture project will be measured and may form the basis for a contractual
agreement between the supplier and consumer of architecture services. In general, all the information in
this document should be at a high level.
It may be that the Statement of Architecture Work is documented using a wiki or as an intranet rather than
a text-based document. Even better would be to use a licensed TOGAF tool that captures this output.
This template shows typical contents of a Statement of Architecture Work and can be adapted to align
with any TOGAF adaptation being implemented.
