The Three Readers of Architecture Documentation for the CCAR-P Exam

Document architectures and provide implementation guidance

SUBy Solomon UdohReviewed by Solomon UdohAI-assisted · human-reviewed
In short
Architecture documentation must simultaneously serve three readers: the handoff recipient, who needs decisions plus the rejected alternatives and why; the compliance auditor, who needs evidence that a control is live rather than an assertion that it exists; and the returning architect, who needs a document navigable without a briefing, with assumptions labelled and open items owned. A document written for only one of these readers is incomplete even when it is detailed.
