Templates worth stealing

Five documents structured the way they're genuinely used in telecom architecture programmes — not placeholders, templates with real sections and real prompts. Download, adapt, use.

Architecture Decision Record (ADR) Template
Markdown · A one-page template for recording a single architecture decision, its alternatives, and its consequences.
High-Level Design (HLD) Template
Markdown · Describes a solution's overall shape — components, integrations, and alignment to eTOM, SID and ODA.
Low-Level Design (LLD) Template
Markdown · Implementation-ready: data models, API contracts, error handling, and a test plan summary.
RFP / Vendor Evaluation Scorecard
Markdown · A weighted scoring template for vendor RFPs — weighted toward architecture conformance and migration realism, not feature checklists.
eTOM ↔ TOGAF ADM Mapping Sheet
Markdown · Maps TOGAF's ADM phases to eTOM's process levels, with a worked Order-to-Activate example.

Terms like eTOM, SID and ODA defined in full on the Glossary.
