This architectural focus register is intended to help quickly identify potential architectural risks, opportunities or other issues in our projects, solutions or IT organization that can impact intended outcomes or IT imperatives. This form will help you quickly document these identified issues and help our architectural teams prioritize focus and engagement as needed.
For now, only the CES IT Architecture team has visibility into all the entries recorded in this register. Entries in this register will be shared with CES leadership and each institution as needed. Entries in this register will also be used to help inform the CES resouce planning process.
