Duration: 10 business days
Architecture Clarity Sprint
A small set of defensible architecture decisions executives can act on.
The outcome
An agreed target picture, a decision log with reasoning, and a named design authority that keeps working after the sprint.
Technology domains examined
- Enterprise Architecture & GovernanceHow are architecture decisions made accountable to the steering committee and the CFO?
- SAP S/4HANA & Retail CoreWhat belongs in the S/4HANA core — and what deliberately does not?
- Integration, BTP & Enterprise PlatformsDoes this capability belong in the core, in an extension, or on a platform of its own?
- Data, Reporting & AnalyticsWhere do price, stock, customer and master data live authoritatively?
The situation
- Template discussions run without closing.
- Several streams answer the same question differently.
- There is no authority saying what is non-negotiable.
- Decisions are taken but not recorded, so they are relitigated.
Scope
- One-page target picture, readable by executives
- Decision log of the open core questions
- Template non-negotiables
- Governance model with roles and escalation path
- 90-day action plan
What you receive
- Target picture and decision log
- List of non-negotiables with reasoning

- Top risks with owners
- 90-day actions
What it is not
- Not a technical design factory.
- No tool selection for its own sake.
- Not a substitute for missing programme leadership.
