TRAK Architecture ViewpointsQuestions/ Concerns Addressed by TRAK Viewpoints (Views)
A list of the TRAK viewpoints is provided below together with the concerns addressed by each (and therefore the corresponding view).
| Perspective | Viewpoint | Title | Questions / Concerns |
| Enterprise | EVp-01 | Enterprise Goal | What is the Enterprise and what goals does it set out to achieve? |
| EVp-02 | Capability Hierarchy | What are the enduring capabilities the enterprise requires and how is capability measured? |
|
| EVp-03 | Capability Phasing | How is capability delivered over time? Are there any gaps? |
|
| Concept | CVp-01 | Concept Need | Have the concept needs been identified? |
| CVp-03 | Concept Item Exchange | Have the items exchanged by concept nodes been identified? What is required to satisfy the concept needs? |
|
| CVp-04 | Concept Activity to Capability Mapping | How/are concept activities sufficient to deliver capability? |
|
| CVp-05 | Concept Activity | What does each concept node need to do? |
|
| CVp-06 | Concept Sequence | How are concept activities ordered? Is it important? |
|
| Procurement | PrVp-01 | Procurement Structure | What is the project structure? How is the project governed? |
| PrVp-02 | Procurement Timeline | What other projects is this project dependent on? How does project delivery time affect us? |
|
| PrVp-03 | Procurement Responsibility | What responsibilities do organisations or jobs have in relation to a project or time? Are their boundaries clear? |
|
| Solution | SVp-01 | Solution Structure |
What does the solution consist of? Is the solution structured sensibly? What is the organisation structure / membership? How does responsibility (scope/jurisdiction) apply to the solution components? |
| SVp-02 | Solution Resource Interaction |
How are resources connected together? How are the organisations, jobs & roles connected? Have the interactions / interfaces/exchanges been characterised? |
|
| SVp-03 | Solution Resource Interaction to Function Mapping |
Are there interactions/interfaces that cannot be justified by functional need? Do we have functions that cannot be realised because there isn’t an interchange? |
|
| SVp-04 | Solution Function |
Have all solution functions been identified? What does each part do? |
|
| SVp-05 | Solution Function to Concept Activity Mapping | Do the solution functions meet all of the concept activities? Is there unwanted solution functionality? |
|
| SVp-06 | Solution Competence | Does the organisation or job through its role have the necessary competence to conduct the function? Is the competence consistent with the solution? |
|
| SVp-07 | Solution Sequence | In what order do things need to happen? |
|
| SVp-11 | Solution Event Causes |
How robust is the system to unwanted events? How dependable is the system? What causes events? |
|
| SVp-13 | Solution Risk |
What threats is the system exposed to? How are the threats mitigated or controlled? What are the vulnerabilities of the system? What are the risks posed to the system or a third party? How does the solution design address vulnerabilities, threats and risks? |
|
| Management | MVp-01 | Architecture Description Dictionary | Is the architecture description portable? Can it be understood in the way it was intended to be? |
| MVp-02 | Architecture Description Design Record | Do we understand the scope of the architectural task? What are the issues and findings that resulted? |
|
| MVp-03 | Requirements & Standards | Have all the constraints been identified? What constraints/ requirements through normative documents/standards apply (or will apply) to the system, project, enterprise? |
|
| MVp-04 | Assurance | What are the claims made? What is the basis of the claim? Is the claim supported by evidence? |
