Which section of the TOGAF template for Architecture Principles highlights the requirements for carrying out the principle?
The 'Implications' section of the TOGAF template for Architecture Principles is the part that highlights the requirements for carrying out the principle. This section details the impacts on the business, resources, costs, and tasks necessary to implement the principle. It helps in understanding the consequences of adopting the principle and the necessary changes to current practices.
Should highlight the requirements, both for the business and IT, for carrying out the principle — in terms of resources, costs, and activities/tasks. It will often be apparent that current systems, standards, or practices would be incongruent with the principle upon adoption. The impact to the business and consequences of adopting a principle should be clearly stated. The reader should readily discern the answer to: "How does this affect me?". It is important not to oversimplify, trivialize, or judge the merit of the impact. Some of the implications will be identified as potential impacts only, and may be speculative rather than fully analyzed.
