• Stakeholder Interviews

• Exploring the organization's goals

• Defining the Product Vision

• Current System Overview

• Architecture Principles and Guidelines

• Architecture Vision and Plans

• etc.

Each of the cards detail a tool you can use and its instructions, with links to additional frameworks and other helpful documentation. Each tool produces valuable artifacts, that might be required as inputs for other tools.

You may have already some of the valuable items they'll produce. In that case, just cherry-pick the tools you find helpful.
