The practical guide to applying CompassWorks on a real programme
From initial direction-setting through to post-implementation review — with templates, worked examples, and role-by-role guidance.
What's inside the Playbook
The CompassWorks Playbook is a structured, practitioner-written guide designed to be used on live programmes — not read once and shelved. It covers every phase of the CompassWorks lifecycle with enough detail to be genuinely useful in the room.
How to define and document target state architecture, establish principles, and get stakeholder alignment before delivery begins.
Ready-to-use architecture decision record (ADR) templates with worked examples from real integration and EAM programmes.
Structured assurance checkpoints for each phase — what to review, who should be in the room, and what a good outcome looks like.
Reusable design patterns and integration runbooks covering common enterprise architecture scenarios.
Specific guidance for architects, engineers, product owners, and delivery leads — so every role knows what CompassWorks asks of them.
A structured PIR framework for capturing lessons, validating outcomes, and feeding back into the next programme cycle.
