Date
2008The present day demanding business environment and increasing complexity of
ICT development have raised the significance architecture work. The architecture processes,
practices and documents have become increasingly important for the companies. As the utilisation of
the architectures are highly dependent on the quality of the documentation, there is an evident
need for practical means for architecture documentation evaluation. This paper presents a study
addressing the architecture documentation quality assessment. The research was carried out in co-
operation with industry practitioners from a group of companies. The result of the study was a
validated proposal of architecture documentation quality evaluation question framework. This
framework can be used by organisations as a practical tool for developing the quality of the
produced architecture documentation.
