Architecture: work in progress

Architects are responsible for designing how digital systems, data, and technology fit together to deliver services.

It complements the UK Government Service Manual and its technology section, which covers service design more broadly.

It should be used in conjunction with the DfE Digital Technical Guidance, when building digital services.
