Overview
Technical Architecture helps you choose a practical build direction after the project workflow and feature scope are clear. It connects the plan to the technology, structure, and handoff material developers need.
Internal apps and customer products can have different architecture priorities, so review the recommendations through the lens of the project journey.
Review Architecture After Scope
Open Technical Architecture after Project Breakdown, research, workflow, and feature planning have enough detail. Architecture recommendations are more useful when AlphaTales understands the users, roles, workflow, and first-version features.
If the project scope changes later, revisit Technical Architecture and update the recommendations.
Internal App Priorities
For internal apps, review whether the architecture supports:
- Role-based access and permission boundaries.
- Data entry, approval, reporting, and audit needs.
- Connections to the systems the team already uses.
- Practical deployment and maintainability for an internal team.
- Clear separation between first-version needs and future automation.
Internal apps often need simplicity, operational reliability, and strong control over who can do what.
Customer App Priorities
For customer apps, review whether the architecture supports:
- The expected customer type and usage pattern.
- Onboarding, customer data, and product growth.
- Security, reliability, and scale appropriate to the market.
- Integrations and customer-facing workflows.
- PRD and feature handoff expectations.
Customer products often need sharper product boundaries, customer readiness, and market-facing reliability.
Review The Diagram And Stack
Use the architecture page to inspect the suggested architecture style, stack choices, and high-level diagram. Check that the main users, app surfaces, data flows, and external systems match the project.
Adjust the direction if it feels too complex, too light, or mismatched with the first version.
Warning: Architecture suggestions are planning recommendations. Review them with your team before treating them as the final build decision.
Next Steps
After Technical Architecture is ready, package the project with Dev Pack. Customer projects may also use the PRD before handoff.
