Strategic Technology Alignment Team - Design, Engineering & Architecture Description and Goals Description The Strategic Technology Alignment Team - Design, Engineering & Architecture Process describes how projects receive approval to deviate from Design, Engineering, and Architecture (DE&A) user story standards and guidelines.

Goals - To ensure that VIP projects are developing solutions that align to Design, Engineering, and Architecture (DE&A) standards

- To have a mechanism in place for projects to petition use of tools and software development methods that are not fully compliant with DE&A standards

- To manage and track deviations to DE&A user stories, with the intent of having all VIP projects ultimately align to DE&A standards
