IEFRA2 — No Discussion of Potential Trade-Offs Between Objectives

  • Key: IEFRA2-67

  • Summary:

    "6.3.4 No Discussion of Potential Trade-Offs Between Objectives
    The section presents each objective as equally attainable but does not acknowledge that some may conflict in real-world implementation. Readers may assume these objectives can always be achieved simultaneously, which is not realistic.
    Example: ""Security vs. Usability"" – Strict security controls may reduce ease of use.
    Example: ""Interoperability vs. Vendor Agnosticism"" – Ensuring compatibility with existing systems
    may limit certain vendor-agnostic capabilities.
    Suggest: Acknowledge that some objectives require balancing trade-offs and that implementation decisions will vary based on organizational needs. Example addition:
    ""While these objectives provide a guiding vision, real-world implementations may require balancing trade-offs, such as optimizing between security and usability or ensuring interoperability while maintaining vendor neutrality."""
