Successfully designing and operating systems requires careful consideration of people, processes, and governance, which are essential to building a successful, well-adopted and healthy system. Architecting for success includes topics related to [governance](/en/framework/architecture-practices/architecting-for-success/content-and-data-governance.md), [staff development](/en/framework/architecture-practices/architecting-for-success/staff-roles-development-and-training.md), [building a GIS program](/en/framework/architecture-practices/architecting-for-success/build-and-manage-a-GIS-program.md), and more.
