Technology Governance
Governance is what stops a good architecture from eroding one reasonable exception at a time.
Principally
- Architecture and technical governance design
- Decision rights and escalation paths
- Standards, patterns and reference designs
Consider this engagement when
- Architectural exceptions are granted routinely and never revisited.
- Vendors are setting technical direction by default.
- The board receives technology reporting it cannot act on.
Why this work mattersClose
Technology governance is frequently overbuilt and under-used. The intent is narrow: make it clear who decides what, on what basis, and at what point, so that most decisions can be made quickly and only the consequential ones need a forum.
We design governance proportionate to the organisation, and support the standards, review process and vendor management practice that make it hold. Where governance exists but is ignored, we establish why.
Typical outputs
- Governance model and terms of reference
- Standards and reference pattern library
- Design review process and assessment criteria
- Executive-level technology risk reporting
