An architecture as a code framework to manage documentation of IT projects

Abstract

Purpose: In the present article, the authors tackle the problem of IT documentation, which plays an important role in information technology (IT) project management. Design/methodology/approach: They provide a simple tool based on five complementary views, which should be detailed by the project team using a classic source code management platform. Findings: The proposed tool is open source and may be reused by any IT team in various project contexts and heterogeneous development methods. Originality/value: This research provides an operational framework, which facilitates IT project management and documentation. The framework is open source and may be easily downloaded by any other IT team.
