Target Architecture
The description of the future state of the architecture being developed for an organization. It contrasts with the Baseline (Current) Architecture.
Impact
The Target Architecture acts as the "North Star" for all engineering decisions.
Weinto take
The Target is Moving. By the time you reach the "Target Architecture," it will be obsolete. We architect for changeability, not a fixed end-state. The goal is an architecture that can evolve, not one that is "finished."
