7. ATAM Utility Tree Example

I think a utility tree is a visualization of quality attribute exposures for a given architecture, however it can get pretty cumbersome and the details will loose the big picture. In practice, it really depends on the people reading this and how well familiar they are. Chances are they will not be and the goal will be then for the architect to familiarize the stakeholders or create an alternate artifact.
