Client need

Why programmes ask for this.

Questions

Asked often.

Is this only for failing programmes?

No. It is equally useful when setting up a programme so that it does not drift later.

How does governance relate to architecture?

Major architecture decisions need clear owners and traceable records — governance provides both.

What outputs should we expect?

Governance models, KPI packs, escalation logic and decision maps.

Is it only for regulated sectors?

No, though regulated and donor-funded programmes benefit most.
