The stakeholders in a software projects have different objectives, so they will not necessarily have identical architecture analysis needs.

Developers are interested in establishing the consistency of their modules with other parts of the system with which these modules will interact as well as compatibility with the required architectural styles, reference architectures and standards. They need not worry about architecture’s completeness and at best, can access its partial correctness.

Managers are primarily interested in architecture’s completeness. The types of architectural models that are useful to managers are usually less formal models of the system. A manager’s focus will be on cross-cutting non-functional system properties and system’s structural and dynamic characteristics.
