Challenges
- Team or project members (e.g. developers) lack a high-level-overview of solution approaches in order to work effectively.
- New team members who want to participate in development are not able to find their way within the architecture.
- Decision-makers and other stakeholders lost confidence or do not fully trust the solution.
- Colleagues outside of the team are interested in solution approaches, but find no or only very detailed information that makes it difficult to provide a quick overview.
