Software Architects Creed

Presented by Chris Deweese Photography by Jeremy West

Accepting my responsibility as an architect I will strive daily to learn and perfect my trade.

Readily will I defend my organizations IT investments from complexity, our greatest enemy.

Changing requirements will not break my design for it will be flexible and able to change with the requirements.

Helping developers to understand the reasons for the architecture and seeking their input is of great importance to our success.

I will never use acronyms or suggest technologies that are not pertinent to the problem at hand. MVC MSMQ SOA SRP DDD TDD WS-* BDD TOGAF REST ATOM IoC FEA MEF

Technologies evolve and I know that solid architectures should accommodate and enable these evolutions.

Every day I will strive to help our software achieve ideals that will make it flexible and easy to maintain.

Concern for the success of my organizations IT investments will drive me to make appropriate decisions.

Teaching others about my trade will be an overarching responsibility that I accept as part of my duties.
