Architecture Transitions and Roadmaps
Model planned architecture changes using lifecycle tagging. Mark elements as active, planned, or deprecated to visualise current state, interim phases, and target state with full succession tracking.
Modelling Architecture Change
Architecture does not jump from current state to target state. It moves through phases: decommissioning legacy components, introducing new services, migrating data, and cutting over traffic. NeoArc's lifecycle tagging system models each phase by marking individual elements as active, planned, or deprecated, giving every stakeholder a clear view of what exists, what is coming, and what is being retired.

Transition Features
Use Cases
Planning a Lifecycle Transition
Explain complex systems step by step with animated presentations, explanatory diagrams with 4 visibility actions and audio narration, and published portals that guide audiences through architecture at their own pace.
Create named version snapshots, manage entity lifecycles with active, planned, and deprecated states, and track architectural evolution across diagrams, graph diagrams, and documentation pages.
Track architecture decisions with 4 ADR formats, document risks with likelihood and impact ratings, capture non-functional requirements with measurable thresholds, and connect constraints to design choices.
