Selected:Strategic, Tactical and Operational Planning C4 Model Request for Comments Architecture Communication Canvas

Criterion	Business Strategy Strategic, Tactical and Operational Planning	Architecture C4 Model	Architecture Request for Comments	Architecture Architecture Communication Canvas
Purposedifferent	It places decisions and artifacts at the right level. Strategic planning clarifies direction, tactical planning translates it into programs, and operational planning steers concrete processes.	The C4 Model makes a system legible across several resolution levels, from context down to code. It suits situations where different audiences need to understand the same architecture from different altitudes.	An RFC clarifies architecture context, options, and consequences. It structures technical context, alternatives, tradeoffs, open questions, and review feedback, and captures the result as an RFC document, reviewer comments, and a decision rationale.	The Architecture Communication Canvas plans architecture communication so the right people receive the right message. The method turns technical complexity into deliberate communication design.
