SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Plan and govern end-to-end AWS architecture projects, unifying discovery, design, security review, cost estimation, and delivery into a repeatable planning workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase-based planning: Discovery, Design, Security Review, Cost Estimate, and Deliver.
  • Alignment with Well-Architected pillars to evaluate trade-offs and guidance on architecture decisions.
  • Use Case: initiate a new AWS workload, plan a migration, or re-architect for cost efficiency with an end-to-end plan.

Quick Start

Provide project goals, constraints, and success criteria to initiate the planning workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan an AWS architecture workflow from discovery to delivery?

AWS architecture planning is executed through a phase-based workflow covering Discovery, Design, Security Review, Cost Estimate, and Deliver. It guides teams through a structured discovery questionnaire and evaluates designs against the six Well-Architected pillars to produce a final architecture blueprint.

Can I use this to run a Well-Architected review for a new AWS workload?

Yes, Well-Architected reviews are a core use case for new AWS workloads. The workflow evaluates your architecture against the six Well-Architected pillars to analyze trade-offs and guide architecture decisions throughout the planning process.

What do I need to start an end-to-end AWS planning workflow?

To start the AWS planning workflow, you need to provide your project goals, constraints, and success criteria. This input initiates the discovery phase, which uses a structured questionnaire to gather requirements for the subsequent design and review phases.

Does this planning workflow include AWS cost estimation and security checks?

Yes, AWS cost estimation and security checks are dedicated phases in the planning workflow. After the design phase, the workflow applies security and cost checks to ensure the architecture blueprint meets requirements before final delivery.

What is the best way to plan a migration to AWS with an end-to-end plan?

The best way to plan an AWS migration is using a unified planning workflow that applies a structured discovery process, evaluates designs against Well-Architected pillars, and generates a deliverable-ready architecture blueprint for the migration.
