The deliverables produced in a SOA architecture definition effort depend on the overall scope of the architecture project, but typically include:

• Reference architecture that forms the blueprint for all service oriented application projects.
• Recommended usage patterns and guidelines targeted at application architects who will use these artifacts within their projects.
• Technology selection guides that foster a standardization of your commercial software portfolio (e.g. middleware).
• Migration plan from current-state to future-state architecture.
• Architecture adoption plan that establishes a timeline for different projects to adhere to the principles of the SOA blueprint.
