Architecture Overview Document (AOD)
Definition
(Context: Enterprise Architecture)
The Architecture Overview Document (AOD) templates help suppliers document their architectures in a way that reviewers can determine if the architecture is in compliance. The Architecture Overview Document (AOD) is split into 3 sections to be completed at different times in the lifecycle of service deployment. Each architecture will include a High-Level Section (HLS), a Detailed Design Section (DDS), and an As Built Section (ABS).
- HLS - Is a high-level section that is required to be approved prior to starting the project to build the architecture.
- DDS - Contains the information needed to build or rebuild the system and needs to be completed prior to service going live. It contains not only the system configuration, but also the configurations from any other suppliers that they need to do to bring your system online.
- ABS - Contains any variances from the Detailed Design and their configurations. It needs to be completed prior to project closeout.
