A well-governed architecture practice is sustainable, scalable, and trusted. In this phase, we put in place the governance structures and workflows that keep your models accurate, relevant, and compliant ensuring the architecture grows in the right direction.

Key configurations include:

  • Role-based Access Control: Define roles, user groups, and permissions to manage who can access, edit, or review models.
  • Versioning & Change Management: Implement baseline controls and structured change management to support current and future state modeling.
  • Model Integrity Checks: Set up model gates and routine activities to ensure consistency, clean-up, and structural integrity across the repository.
