principles. Deviations from adopted design guidelines should be evaluated to 
determine if the departure from the guidelines adversely impacts operational 
performance or structural stability of the structural configuration. Alternative 
structural solutions may resolve the deviation, but may impose undesirable  
consequences on product performance and stability.

Assess project repercussions
Once the alternatives have been analyzed from a technical perspective, they must 
be evaluated to understand the impacts they may present if they were imple-
mented within the existing project context. The initial assessment of the alterna-
tives delved into the implied software implementation and operational and support 
challenges. However, the final determination concerning which of the architectural 
design approaches to advocate must account for the capacity of project resources to 
accommodate the design scheme.
