AIM: The main aim is to show in 3 pages how these questions are answered directly to the point of the business role of an architect. You can either use text or simplify it with numerated organized bulletpoints or use diagrams. I suggest the last one as it’s the main aim of the coursework. It is important to use less words as the time limit for the reading of each page is quite small. Diagrams would be the best choice to show these information. If you have any questions please let me know.
You can get the information of the questions from this bibliography. Feel free to use your own bibliography.
(3 Page limit)
You have fexibility across these pages to everything
(Please cover all of these in a succinct way that you feel is appropriate.)
