Final Enterprise Architect Capstone
Deliverables
Produce all of the following:
1. Executive architecture
One page explaining the target state and business outcomes.
2. Logical architecture
Show sources, integration, domains, spaces, semantic layers, consumers, governance, and operations.
3. Physical implementation
Map logical responsibilities to actual Datasphere capabilities and connected platforms.
4. Migration roadmap
Define waves, dependencies, coexistence, reconciliation, cutover, and retirement.
5. Security model
Define identity, roles, spaces, data access controls, sharing, exposure, and audit.
6. Operating model
Define ownership, SLOs, incident response, release management, and capacity governance.
7. FinOps model
Explain capacity drivers, cost controls, and review mechanisms.
8. ADR pack
Create at least ten architecture decision records.
Defense
You must be able to defend:
- why Datasphere
- why the space topology
- why federation versus replication
- why the semantic boundaries
- why BW bridge or native redesign
- why the security model
- why the migration order
- how the platform recovers
- how cost is controlled
- what would make you redesign it
