2.5 Conduct ARB 1
Overview
Architecture Review Board 1 (ARB 1) is an essential toll gate that is required to take place prior to completion of business process and integrations design and request for customer's design sign off. It allows opportunity for partners and PS project team to align on overall architecture and gather feedback from ARB board that includes experience and leadership from solution architecture, technical services and executive sponsor teams. For partner-led projects an internal architecture review is held between Coupa architects supporting the project and ARB Board. All identified open items and areas that need further review are shared with partner to have follow up partner led ARB presentation concentrate on these topics. Any design change feedback from ARB board needs to be documented as open design item and tracked to a resolution prior to business process and integrations design sign off.
