The purpose of the Standards Forecast model (StdV-2) is to identify emerging, obsolete and fragile standards, and to assess their impact on the architecture and its constituent elements. A forecast that addresses emerging standards gives insight into the direction that the project will take.
StdV-2 Implementation
