Accessible diagram transcript
Objects
- Business demand: Outcome and constraints (Consumers)
- Demand qualification: Scope and route (Governance)
- Architecture & security: Conditions and patterns (Authorities)
- Service ownership: Lifecycle and acceptance (Service ownership)
- Platform Engineering: Build and evidence (Engineering)
- Cloud Operations: Accept, run and improve (Operations)
Directed relationships
- demand → intake: need (handoff)
- intake → design: refer (authority)
- intake → owner: shape service (handoff)
- design → build: conditions (authority)
- owner → build: acceptance criteria (handoff)
- build → run: handover (handoff)
- run → owner: service evidence (feedback)
When to use it
Use to design a traceable path for new cloud capabilities without turning governance into a ticket queue.
What to challenge
- Separate accountable authority from delivery execution.
- Make every important handoff directional and reviewable.
- Treat this reference pattern as a starting point, not a prescription.
Adapt it responsibly
- Rename functions to match the organization vocabulary.
- Remove elements that are genuinely out of scope.
- Validate decision rights and handoffs with accountable stakeholders.
