About
The Project Execution EA View mind map template provides a comprehensive 4-stage framework for managing complex software deployments like the ABSS/Financio Roadmap. Spanning from April to the final Go Live phase, this template covers 42 distinct nodes that bridge the gap between business requirements and technical execution. It is specifically designed for Enterprise Architects and Project Managers who need to visualize the transition from a Conceptual Solution Architecture to a Logical Solution Architecture. By mapping out critical inputs such as EA Principles & Guidelines and ASIS/TOBE Process Maps, the template ensures that every technical decision aligns with the overarching business timeline. This Project Execution EA View cheat sheet serves as a single source of truth for tracking deliverables like the Conceptual Solution Document and T-Shirt Sizing estimates across the project lifecycle.

Frequently asked questions
This template includes a structured timeline divided into four stages. It features dedicated branches for 'Input' (requirements, KPIs, and EA Principles), 'Process' (architectural design phases), and 'Output' (solution documents and sizing), ensuring all enterprise architecture artifacts are accounted for.
You can use it to track the evolution of your design. Start by defining the 'Conceptual Solution Architecture' in Stage 2 to establish high-level feasibility, then move to 'Logical Solution Architecture' in Stage 3 to detail the technical components and team-level sizing.
Yes, every node including the 'ABSS/Financio Roadmap' root and the specific 'ASIS/TOBE Process Maps' sub-topics can be fully customized, color-coded, or expanded to fit your specific enterprise project needs.
The 'T-Shirt Sizing' node in Stage 2 is used for high-level estimation. It allows architects to provide rough effort or cost estimates (Small, Medium, Large) before moving into the more granular 'Team Level Sizing (DLS)' in the later stages.
