Decide on Business Level Work Products
Make a decision about what work products are to be used and how they are to be used to document the Context and Objectives and Business Perspective. In addition to identifying what work products are to be used, it is also important to also
tailor each work product to be used to fit the objectives of the architecture effort.
The table below specifies which work products are recommended and which are considered optional. For additional
tailoring considerations, see the tailoring section of the work product description page.
