Therefore, the solution context describes the required business capabilities that need to be satisfied by the architecture.  \nPrerequisites for creating the solution context are the Stakeholder Matrix and Statement of Architecture Work.  \nFor stakeholders in the business domain, the solution context provides a valuable visual representation of the architecture, illustrating how your proposed solution interacts with various organizational units, Roles, and business functions.  \nCreated by SAP AppHaus  \nARCHITECTURE THINKING MINDSET / DISCOVER PHASE / SYNTHESIZE  \nWhen To  \nVisualize the Solution Context  \nWe use the “Solution Context Diagram” to identify business capabilities, capture business users, and visualize the overall solution context. The Solution Context Diagram happens in the Discover Phase, within the business domain of Enterprise  \nVisualize the Solution Context  \nArchitecture Thinking. To create a Solution Context Diagram, it is necessary to have the Stakeholder Matrix and Statement of Architecture Work.  \nExplore innovation opportunities and tie them to strategic business goals.  \n\n| Discover and gain a deep understanding of both customers’ and their endusers’ needs. | Design and create a prototype of the solution and define the enterprise architecture components. | Deliver the business and technical solutions for productive use in the enterprise architecture landscape. |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n\nRun and Scale the solution and deploy across the company.  \nLearn more about SAP’s Human-Centered Approach to Innovation: [https://apphaus.sap.com/approach](https://apphaus.sap.com/approach)  \nCreated by SAP AppHaus  \nARCHITECTURE THINKING MINDSET / DISCOVER PHASE / SYNTHESIZE  \nHow To  \nVisualize the Solution Context  \nDuration  \nApprox. 30-60 Minutes  \nParticipation  \n1-3 People  \nRoles  \nArchitects  \nUse Input From  \n• Map Architecture Stakeholders  \n• Identify the Scope of Your Architecture  \nTranslate your learnings about the aspired solution into business capabilities that describe what the solution can do. These can be main functions or features of the aspired solution expressed in business terminology. This list doesn’t need to be exhaustive; think of 5 to 10 main capabilities.  \nIdentify related organizational units, business Roles and existing business applications. Use the Stakeholder Matrix as reference for users and Roles.  \nVisualize the components in a diagram (use the template).  \nExpert Tips  \nThe most prominent part of the Solution Context Diagram is a box representing the aspired solution. Label the box with the name you have defined in the Statement of Architecture Work.  \nThroughout architecture development, you gradually add more details to the Solution Context, e.g., evolving the Solution Context to other work products such as a Solution Concept and Solution Realization Diagram.  \nYou use the Solution Context Diagram to share and communicate your architecture to your business stakeholders. You can also update your  \nStatement of Architecture Work  \nby adding the Solution Context to the“Overview of Architecture Vision” section of the template.  \nCreated by SAP AppHaus  \nExample  \nSolution Context Diagram  \nRequestor  \nBusiness Dev.  \nR&D  \n\n| IT | |\n| --- | --- |\n| Administrator\u003Cbr>Operator\u003Cbr>|  |\n\n\n| Reviewer |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| | |\n| Business Accounting Analyst |  |\n\n\n| Approver\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Head of Strategy | | |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n|  | Director CFO\u003Cbr>Business Dev. |  |\n\nCorporate  \nPolicies &","cbCaisBAHgN5hyYA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisBAHgN5hyYA","pdf",254576,"English","# Why To\n# When To\n# How To\n## Duration and Participation\n## Roles and Inputs\n## Expert Tips\n# Example","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of a Solution Context Diagram?\",\"answer\":\"It provides a high-level overview of the aspired solution that business users can easily understand.
