Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Start with where we are today
Map the current state they say
As-is baseline, capture all
Systems standing, systems that fall
Document the present scene
Architecture's starting gene

[Chorus]
Roadmap to the future state
Current, Target, don't be late
Transition phases guide the way
Governance keeps us in play
A-D-R decisions clear
Standards strong throughout the year

[Verse 2]
Target state is where we'll be
To-be vision, clear to see
Bridge the gap with transitions planned
Sequential steps across the land
Dependencies mapped in line
Three year journey by design

[Chorus]
Roadmap to the future state
Current, Target, don't be late
Transition phases guide the way
Governance keeps us in play
A-D-R decisions clear
Standards strong throughout the year

[Verse 3]
Review boards assess the plan
Design authorities take a stand
Exception processes when we bend
Architecture governance to the end
RACI matrix shows who's who
Accountable for what we do

[Bridge]
Standards created, published wide
Enforced with care, retired with pride
Technology roadmap shows the path
Sequenced initiatives, do the math
Architecture Decision Records store
The reasoning behind each door

[Chorus]
Roadmap to the future state
Current, Target, don't be late
Transition phases guide the way
Governance keeps us in play
A-D-R decisions clear
Standards strong throughout the year

[Outro]
From as-is to to-be we climb
Architecture roadmaps through time
Governance guides us on our quest
Enterprise architecture at its best
