The project-start architecture ensures that the final result delivered
by the project fits into the information systems as a whole. Also, be-
cause management and flexibility requirements are considered, the
project-start architecture ensures that the entire life cycle of the appli-
cation is taken into account during the development of the IT solution.

The project-start architecture, if properly applied, also has a posi-
tive effect on the speed of development. The project team can con-
centrate all its energy on creating the solution. Using a project-start
architecture has the following advantages:
· Time-consuming discussions about the tools to be used and the
required techniques are unnecessary. As time passes, the experi-
ence in using standard tools and techniques will increase. The
project team can focus its attention on the objective instead of
on the means. This facilitates a rapid start of the project.
· Additionally, many choices have already been made in the
project-start architecture, making it clear right from the start
which competencies are needed. This makes it possible to find
the right people for the project.
· Another aspect of the project-start architecture that can mean a
considerable acceleration is that the project team does not lose
a disproportionate amount of time holding coordinating ses-
