There is a minimal process in which the architect selects the viewpoints (specifications for views) that address the task sponsor's concerns. It has rules that ensure that the description is consistent and also readable by the non technical audience. You
Simple Visio stencil to help create TRAK architecture views
A Visio stencil that provides the elements and connectors from the TRAK metamodel for you to create TRAK architecture views with.

TRAK is an ISO/IEC 42010:2011-compliant open-source architecture framework for enterprise architecture modelling / architecture description in all domains.
TRAK is specified in three parts and is available at:
