Requirements Impact Assessment

4 Purpose
Throughout the ADM, new information is collected relating to an architecture. As this information is
gathered, new facts may come to light that invalidate existing aspects of the architecture. A Requirements
Impact Assessment assesses the current architecture requirements and specification to identify changes
that should be made and the implications of those changes.
This template shows typical contents of a Statement of Architecture Work and can be adapted to align
with any TOGAF adaptation being implemented.
