Identify architectural constraints
List any constraints on the solution (or possibly opportunities) that arise from the existing environment or
organisation.

Survey, assess and select from available assets
Establish the availability of suitable candidates for re-use from the existing software estate.
|
Identify analysis mechanisms
Catalogue the architecture mechanisms needed to support the requirements (see Architecture Mechanism). These will be expressed as Analysis Mechanisms at this point in the process, due to the relatively small
amount of detail required against each mechanism.
Map each mechanism to one or more use cases. This will how the mechanisms are used to support the requirements and
assist in the prioritisation of the development of the mechanisms.

Capture architectural decisions
Keep a log of important decisions for future reference.
