Architecture Vision

The architecture vision articulates why change is needed, what success looks like, and which stakeholders and domains are in scope for an architecture cycle. It aligns leadership on problems, constraints, and high-level approach before detailed modeling. A compelling vision motivates governance participation and funding.
