Once upon a time

Intro

But one day

Problem

and because of that

Until one day: Advisory architecture

seeking advice in this context means to spend most time and effort speaking to people who will disagree with you to find where are the flaws in your design.

It is not consensus, it means to be an informed captain, where you hear different voices and perspectives

Mindset: Architecture as a team sport

Where there is not THE architect who is the person entitled to make decisions, every participant can make a decision. This happens providing a framework for it to happen.

A tool to think: ADRs

A place to have conversations: Architecture forum or Guild round tables

A tool to understand the current environment climate: Tech Radar

It is an advisory tool that helps making a decision by providing context of our engieering tech radar * What everyone else is doing * Who has which skill * What are the general trends in the industry

And ever since

  • Consistency
  • Alignment
  • Evaluate and inform decision
  • Structure for collaboration and innovation
  • Cross team collaboration
  • Linking it in technical decision document
  • Create your own learning paths
  • Find best practices
