This step is based on the previously created application exchange diagrams and technical architecture diagrams. These prior diagrams identify which applications, modules, and technology services are considered vital.
The goal of this step is to create a specialised version of a deployment diagram specifically focused on a worst-case scenario.
This diagram is typically created by Technology Architects or IT Operations Teams.
Specific guidance for creating the worst-case deployment diagram is out of scope for this version of the methodology but should be added in the future.
Note: Refer to the application exchange diagrams (Step 6) and technical architecture diagrams (Step 8) as the primary inputs. Work with Technology Architects and IT Operations to produce a deployment view that reflects only the vital components needed in the worst-case scenario.
