SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE CANVAS

As lean as architecture documentation can ever get

Background photo credit: Samantha Gades

A canvas provides a structured framework that facilitates the visualization of
key elements of a system. Based upon ideas from the famous Business Model Canvas
we created three different canvases to suit your current needs:

 * The “Architecture Inception Canvas” is based upon Patrick Roos’ original work
   “Software Architecture Canvas”, and addresses greenfield approaches to
   software development. Additional info here.
 * The “Architecture Communication Canvas” helps to communicate key elements of
   existing software architectures. Consider it to be the zip-version of
   conventional arc42 documentation. Addition info here.
 * Finally, the tech stack canvas is a new approach by INNOQ to have all
   relevant technologies of your stack documented on a single page. Document the
   planned technologies for a new project but also document the status quo of
   existing products. Highly recommended!
