The ARB is the crossroads for reviewing IT initiatives, ensuring they are aligned strategically and architecturally and using best practices in accordance with uOttawa policies and standards regarding business and technical capabilities, information management, security and privacy, integration, user experience, application design and infrastructure.
The ARB process is published and accessible to University staff. The ARB conducts a project presentation process, with peer review and approval by the AWG at various stages of the project lifecycle (initiation, solution approach and solution architecture review). Overall, ARB presentations are aligned with the University’s enterprise architecture principles, reference models (e.g., higher education capability model), and IM/IT policies and standards.
