# Creating blueprints

> How to create and configure an implementation blueprint

## Start from the dashboard

Click **New Blueprint** from the Panaptico dashboard. You'll be asked to describe your implementation intent.

## Describe your intent

Tell the Systems Architect what you're implementing. Be specific about:

* **What systems are involved** — "We're deploying Snowflake with SSO through Okta and data pipelines from our AWS data lake"
* **What the goal is** — "Migrate from on-prem SQL Server to Snowflake with zero downtime"
* **What constraints exist** — "Must be SOC 2 compliant, production cutover by Q3"

The more context you provide, the more targeted the generated blueprint will be.

## Review the generated blueprint

The Systems Architect will:

1. Connect to your providers and discover your current environment
2. Generate a systems ontology mapping what exists
3. Produce a phased implementation checklist
4. Create architecture diagrams, process flows, and stakeholder maps
5. Identify risks, gaps, and inferred relationships that need confirmation

<Warning>
  The generated blueprint is a starting point. Review inferred mappings (marked with an "Inferred" badge), confirm or flag them, and adjust the checklist to match your actual rollout plan.
</Warning>

## Configure the blueprint

After generation, you should:

### Confirm system mappings

In the **Systems Ontology** view, review items marked as "Inferred" and either confirm them or flag them for further review.

### Assign ownership

In the **Stakeholder Map**, review suggested ownership assignments and RACI roles. Fill in any missing ownerships — these will be surfaced as blockers if left unresolved.

### Set goals

In the **Goals** sheet, select applicable success metrics and define target values for tracking.

### Review the checklist

In the **Implementation Checklist**, review task ordering, dependencies, acceptance criteria, and evidence requirements. Add, remove, or reorder tasks as needed.

## Start execution

Once your blueprint is configured, begin working through the checklist. See the [Executing tasks](/guides/executing-tasks) guide for details.
