No-Go Decision Template

What is No-Go Decision Template?

The No-Go Decision Template is a crucial tool in the enterprise architecture framework that helps project managers and architects, particularly those adhering to best practices like TOGAF, to systematically evaluate projects at key decision points. This template guides teams in assessing the feasibility and alignment of a project with strategic goals, enterprise architecture standards, and resource availability. By providing a structured approach to identify potential risks, constraints, and misalignments early in the process, the No-Go Decision Template enables organizations to make informed decisions about whether to proceed with, halt, or revisit a project, ultimately ensuring better alignment with the overall architectural vision and reducing the likelihood of wasted resources.
