A Model For Describing The Architecture of a Business Before defining team responsibility ownership patterns and comparing their trade-offs, it’s necessary to have common ground on the language used to define responsibilities a team may own. We need a model that describes the different elements of a system that a team could own.

I should start by saying this section does not offer a treatise on how to do architecture. Technology systems are difficult to wrangle. Our systems grow in accidental complexity and complication over time. This is my tailored view of it; others will have different definitions. It must be solid, firm.

This means a system that is not merely available but is also engineered with extensive redundant measures to continue to work as its users expect. Availability and Reliability are forms of dependability.
