What is Architecture Diagram? (Definition)

An Architecture Diagram is a visualization that shows a coherent set of concepts applied to a system like an enterprise.

Often an Architecture Diagram is showing structure with general concepts, like relationships between processes, applications, data objects and servers.

In this case, the general concepts are processes, applications, data objects and servers.

These general concepts themselves are elements in other, more specific concepts, like cloud computing, self-service, CRM or one-stop -shopping.

The conceptual coherence between general concepts is often not shown or clear.

An architecture diagram benefits from it when it shows specific concepts instead of general ones.
