A look at the roles of architect and strategist, and how they help develop successful technology strategies for business. I should start by saying this section does not offer a treatise on how to do architecture. Technology systems are difficult to wrangle. Vitruvius and the principles of architecture.

Modernizing an architecture usually take years. This presents technology leaders with one of the most difficult modernization challenges: where to start and in which order to modernize? In the Architecture Modernization Sequencing Grid, this is the bottom right corner. Often there is a tension.

In Part 1 of this series, a shared language was proposed to accurately describe different elements of a business’s architecture. We can now start to slice and group those architectural pieces into team-sized chunks and analyse the trade-offs of each pattern, and explore contexts in which they might be applicable.

Design review is basically a code review but for architecture.

I believe that attitude towards the design of code and architecture is one of them. In my experience, the culture is better and the results are better in orgs where engineers and architects obsess over the design of code and architecture. Simon Brown taught me how to review architecture diagrams 10 years ago.

Choosing where to focus is a balancing act: delivering new products, fixing legacy software, and improving engineering culture. It’s also possible to exchange complexity.
