Architecture Process (brief)
- NYU IT projects should follow Project Governance process, other projects outside of NYU IT may have their own process. Either project process should produce set of requirements and documents to be used in architecture.
- Request “Lead Architect” to join the project
- NYU IT projects may select in ProjTrak “Architect Needed? Yes”
- Work with Lead Architect to complete ADM Phases C-F
- complete ARB Architecture Assessment
- complete Security Review Intake Form
- provide set of architecture diagrams (sample diagram) based on this draw.io template (select connect more apps, draw.io, and make a copy before editing)
- Schedule ARB review
- To be added to agenda email: its.architects@nyu.edu
- Reviews occur each week Tuesday at following times:
- 08:00 New York / Eastern time
- 14:00 UTC
- 17:00 Abu Dhabi time
- 21:00 Shanghai time
Architecture Process (detailed)
NYU IT Project Governance process outlines the gating and phases needed to be completed. For convenience we have provided links to documents that would be best for preparing projects:
- Project Initiation (TOGAF Phase A)
- Project Planning (TOGAF Phase B)
- Information & Technology Architecture (TOGAF Phases C through F)
NYU IT follows the The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) as means to develop architecture. Following is the Architecture Development Model (ADM) that explains the process used in areas of architecture.

Information & Tech Architecture (Lead Architect, Tech Lead, Project Owner)
Project managers, owners, and tech leads are required to work with the Lead Architect assigned to the project to complete the four Architecture Review Board (ARB) phases.
ADM Phase C: Data Architecture
- Authentication & Authorization (including Single Sign-on listed under standards section)
- Update Data Catalog & Business Glossary (Data Catalog)
- Initiate Security & Compliance review (Output can be seen in ARB Slack for Architects to review)
- Data Security Matrix (catalog of data fields being exchanged)
- Security Review Intake Form
- ARB Architecture Questioner including Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA) under the GDPR
ADM Phase C: Application Architecture
- Application Interaction Matrix
- Software Engineering diagram
- System – Function Matrix
ADM Phase D: Technology Architecture
- Communications Engineering Diagram
- Application/System/Technology Matrix
ADM Phase F: Migration Plan
- Develop Test Plan
- Update CMDB (Application & Integration Catalogs)
