Return to Requirements

The FX Logical Governance Model SHALL remain independent of repositories, workflow tools, requirements-management systems, policy engines, rules engines, access-control products, ticketing systems, approval systems, configuration services, runtime registries, and deployment mechanisms.

Part 3, Section 17.10: FX Logical Governance Requirements.

The FX Logical Governance Model defines architectural governance concepts rather than the technologies used to implement governance. Prescribing repositories, workflow tools, requirements-management systems, policy engines, approval systems, configuration services, runtime registries, or deployment mechanisms would unnecessarily couple the logical architecture to particular implementation choices and reduce portability.

Maintaining this separation preserves the platform-independent nature of the FX Demo Logical Profile and enables multiple Implementation Profiles to realize equivalent governance capabilities using different organizational processes and technology stacks while preserving the same architectural meaning.

This requirement applies to the entire FX Logical Governance Model and all derived Implementation Profiles.

It applies specifically to:

• logical governance architecture;
• platform-independent modeling;
• implementation conformance;
• architectural governance; and
• technology selection.

Verification SHALL confirm that the FX Logical Governance Model remains independent of implementation-specific governance technologies.

Verification activities should include review checks confirming that:

• governance concepts are defined independently of implementation technologies;
• implementation-specific governance tools are not required for architectural conformance;
• architectural meaning is preserved independently of implementation choices; and
• multiple implementation approaches remain possible without altering the logical governance architecture.

This requirement preserves the separation between logical governance architecture and implementation-specific governance technologies established throughout the FX Demo Logical Profile.
