About the DDaT Framework
The Digital, Data and Technology (DDaT) Capability Framework defines roles and skills for UK Government digital professionals. ArcKit maps its architecture governance commands to these roles so teams know exactly which tools support their work.
Not a UK Government team? The role descriptions are universal — Enterprise Architect, Solution Architect, Product Manager etc. exist in every organisation. Use the DDaT names as a guide, not a constraint.
