2.2.2.1  Preliminary architecture review
The preliminary architecture review (PAR) is a technical review of the evolv-
ing software architecture that is intended to ensure that the architectural solu-
tion is ready for the preliminary design review. The emphasis is on the functional 
architecture and initial structural configuration of the software product. This tech-
nical review involves the software development team and key stakeholders for 
the purpose of evaluating the preliminary architecture definition to ensure that 
it adequately satisfies the software requirements and stakeholder needs, and is 
uncomplicated (noncomplex) and can be implemented within established software 
development resources.
