The Architecture Canvas helps you to design and understand the IT architecture / infrastrucutre from frontend to backend. Especially as a multi-sided model you will often face the need for different architecture components on producers and consumers side.

1. List your stakeholders from the value canvas.

2. Define needed / required interfaces for each stakeholder segment.

3. Define the connection between interfaces and core system.

4. Define the core elements of your backend and data structure.

• What are the main interfaces used by the stakeholders?

• What are the major functionalities the interface has to provide?

• What are the main components of the backend?

• Is there an existing platform which can be used?

• How will the data be stored?

• How open the platform needs to be?

• How will the platform be connected to the stakeholders?

• What are the sub-systems of the stakeholders?
