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. This is my tailored view of it; others will have different definitions. Vitruvius and the principles of architecture.

This involves new software delivery models, adapting to complex software architectures, and embracing automation for analysis and testing. Here is the definition of this model: ?. One way to apply improvements is transforming the way application performance engineering and testing is done. Performance-as-a-self-service

Loosely-coupled teams enabled by loosely-coupled software architecture is one of the strongest predictors of continuous delivery performance and organizational scaling. Whenever a team starts on a piece of work they should own all of the code and infrastructure that needs to change in order to deliver the work.
