Level 1: User System Context (Target)

This view shows target IDP context from the user perspective. It extends current capabilities with stronger planning, governance, and value reporting while keeping user outcomes primary.

Audience

  • Primary: IDP users and decision stakeholders.
  • Secondary: implementers and maintainers planning platform evolution.

Role Mapping

Role cluster Concrete roles Target user goal
Delivery and design roles Developer, Architect Plan, execute, and validate changes with trusted guidance and fast feedback
Product and technology leadership roles Product Manager, Technology Manager, Technology Leader, Business Leader Manage value outcomes, strategic priorities, and delivery health
Assurance and control roles Process Expert, Governance and Compliance, Security Enforce controls, review risk, and maintain auditable evidence

Notes

  • Target-state context is implementation-agnostic and aligned to ADR direction.
  • Layered intent, contract, and implementation separation remains unchanged.
