Architecture Review Board’s Charge¶

The ARB charge helps inform where we spend our time and attention. There are three pillars that define what ARB tries to accomplish, each with three supporting practices that make those goals concrete.

Define the bar for OIT work¶

• Set practices as Standards and Guidelines, demarcating the hard and soft expectations of the OIT community
• Provide Recommendations and Standards of Practice to foster community and share knowledge
• Make clear when exceptions are available and how to obtain them

Promote standards and best practices¶

• Host conversations that will lead to new collaborations, new solutions, and new documentation
• Bridge teams and divisions to connect people who might otherwise duplicate effort
• Champion good ideas to broaden their reach

Explore new products, technologies, and practices¶

• Offer expert opinion to evaluate what’s novel
• Research and understand industry trends and work to integrate them into our environment
• Streamline adoptions that will help UCI fulfill its mission
