1. Creating Component Architecture documents in the Architecture space with
   
   1. Sequence Diagrams
   2. Component Diagrams
2. Developing an agreed upon Testing Best Practices with Testing tools for interface testing with realistic data.
3. Developing a hierarchical system-level architecture diagram with clear roles and responsibilities
   1. Phase 0 (CURRENT): Create spreadsheet enumerating all folders within LMS, CMS, and openedx/common.
      1. Include sub-folders that have large enough sub-features/responsibilities.
      2. Fill out the following columns: path, name, role & responsibility, known violations.
   2. Phase 1 (DESIRED): Group folders from Phase 0 into logical containers, each with their own role and responsibility.
      1. Create a dependency hierarchy for a desired layered architecture.
      2. Denote points of desired decoupling by both space (own processes) and time (async connections)
   3. Phase 2 (ASSESS): When working in an area, a team can take the desired behavior from Phase 1 and assess the subsystem.
      1. Define synchronous and asynchronous interfaces.
      2. Document violations of abstractions and layering.
   4. Phase 3 (MODIFY): When working in an area, a team can refer to the assessment in Phase 2 and update the subsystem as desired.
