A Day in the Life of an Enterprise Architect (Role Play Exercise) 2016Daljit Banger
During Nov 2016 the BCS EA SIG ran a session entitled "Enterprise Architecture Practitioners Day / Hackathon" in London - These are my slides for my sesion at the event.
The document outlines an Architecture Delivery Process (ADP) that guides the creation of architecture deliverables throughout a project's lifecycle. The ADP defines roles and responsibilities for deliverables, inputs required, and how architecture resources are utilized during projects. It aims to maximize the value of architecture by clearly linking business capabilities to technical solutions and ensuring accountability of architects. The ADP also determines what projects require architect involvement based on an architecture significance assessment.
This lecture helps to understand basics software design and especially Architecture Design and its importance. This lecture also describes the goals and importance of architecture design.
The software architecture team is responsible for defining and maintaining the software architecture. The team should include architects with a balanced set of skills in both the problem domain and software development. The role and authority of the architecture team needs to be clearly defined to avoid pitfalls like lack of authority, isolation from the rest of the project team, or imbalanced skills among team members.
The document discusses a roundtable on Solution Architecture training and CITA-A certification. It provides an overview of the training modules which cover topics like business technology strategy, solution architecture, lifecycles, success metrics, stakeholders, and describing solutions. The training aims to help participants understand the solution architect role and gain skills across software, infrastructure, information, and business domains. It also discusses how solution architects balance conflicting priorities and connect with other architects in an organization.
This document defines and describes various architecture artifacts that may be produced during an architecture project. It provides definitions, purposes, creation processes and relationships between artifacts such as the project charter, business context diagram, use cases, conceptual architecture, requirements, logical architectures for applications, information, infrastructure and integration, deployment architectures, technical design and code. The artifacts follow a progression from planning to requirements to design and are key inputs and outputs to one another throughout the architecture delivery process.
The document discusses modeling and the benefits of modeling complex systems. It notes that modeling helps visualize, specify, guide construction of, and document systems that would otherwise be too vast to comprehend. The importance of modeling increases as systems increase in scale and complexity. Modeling allows for simulating "what if" scenarios to help with early verification and validation. The document discusses how modeling enables the development of things as complex as software systems with millions of lines of code and global deployments.

Taming Complexity: On Studying the Application of Model-Driven Engineering to...Florian Rademacher
Microservice Architecture (MSA) is an approach to the realization of software architectures that aims to foster scalability, maintainability, and robustness. To this end, MSA proposes architecture decomposition into microservices, i.e., software components that (i) provide distinct capabilities; (ii) are as independent as possible from other components; and (iii) are solely responsible for their interactions with other components. However, when compared to monolithic software systems, the adoption of MSA usually results in a significant complexity increase concerning architecture design, development, and operation.
In our current line of research, we pursue the goal to mitigate this complexity by investigating the application of Model-driven Engineering (MDE) to MSA engineering and introducing supportive abstractions to certain activities of the latter. In our webinar talk, we will (i) motivate our research on MDE for MSA; (ii) present an ecosystem of modeling languages, which aims to enable stakeholders in MSA engineering to express their specific concerns towards a microservice architecture in a concise and efficient manner; (iii) demonstrate the ecosystem’s practical applicability; and (iv) summarize the most recent insights from our ongoing research. In addition, we will give an outlook on potential future research activities, including both the reconstruction and collaborative specification of microservice architectures in a model-driven fashion.
This document discusses the role and responsibilities of software architects. It begins by explaining why architects are needed, as architecture is the backbone of any system and architectural flaws can cause substantial costs and risks. It then discusses the skills, knowledge, and experience required of architects, such as expertise in development processes, architecture design, requirements engineering, testing and quality, relevant technologies and methods, soft skills, and domain knowledge. The document also notes that architects must continuously learn and improve their skills. It emphasizes that architecture design should be an iterative process to address uncertainty. Finally, it stresses the importance of collaboration, communication, and balancing work and life for architects.
This document provides an overview of the Agile Software Architecture course offered by NISI in 2017. The course consists of 8 sessions covering topics like agile architecture, architectural decision making, quality attributes, feedback and monitoring, and architecture evolution. It is taught by professors from Utrecht University and industry architects. The goal is to help architects think more strategically and discuss real-world cases. Participants come from various roles and companies in consulting, transportation, ERP, public sector and healthcare. They hope to improve their skills and address challenges regarding privacy, security and agility. More information can be found on the course website or by contacting the lead instructor, Slinger Jansen.
The document describes various scenarios for using an Enterprise Architecture Toolkit. It outlines goals, personas, and processes for scenarios such as describing an architecture with current tools, building collaborative architecture designs, extending architecture metadata in Visio, making architecture decisions, managing architectures, exploring approved patterns and assets, determining total cost of ownership, and managing principles and policies.
The document discusses the enterprise mobility viewpoint for IT architecture. It introduces enterprise mobility and presents a conceptual model for a mobile enterprise architecture (MEA). It describes key elements of the MEA including mobility sub-viewpoints, views, and stakeholders. Research was conducted on mapping the TOGAF architecture development method to the MEA and developing models to support enterprise mobility planning and initiatives.
Agile Architecture – Enabling the Organisation’s Successful Digital-Agile Tra...NUS-ISS
Architecture has an important role to play when deploying Agile at scale. In this session, we will take a look at Agile Architecture, its key building blocks, the mental model change that Agile Architecture requires and how it plays a critical role in supporting an organisation’s Digital-Agile Transformation success.
The document discusses several key points about software architecture:
1. Every application has an architecture and at least one architect. Architecture is not just a phase of development but foundational to software design.
2. Requirements analysis and design must be considered together. Existing architectures provide context for requirements and help assess feasibility.
3. The implementation phase aims to faithfully represent the architectural design in code. Deviations from the architecture can undermine its benefits.
4. Architecture centric development sustains focus on the architectural model through all phases from requirements to evolution. This helps manage quality and complexity over the system's lifetime.
This document discusses the scope of software engineering. It begins by defining software and engineering. It then explains that software engineering aims to produce software that meets client needs, is fault-free, delivered on time and budget, and is easy to modify. It discusses why software engineering is needed due to past software failures. The document then covers various aspects of software engineering including historical, economic, and maintenance aspects. It also discusses common software engineering roles and development team members. Finally, it provides an overview of different software development lifecycle models.

This document summarizes a presentation about the interaction between enterprise architecture and solution architecture over the project lifecycle. It discusses how enterprise architects inform and control solution architects through governance processes, principles, policies, reference models, and other artifacts. Solution architects facilitate solution delivery and have a narrower focus on specific capabilities within time and budget constraints. The presentation maps architect roles to skills frameworks and notes that projects generally have a start, finish, milestones and other common elements regardless of methodology. It concludes by noting enterprise architecture can inform and direct solution architecture at various interaction points over the project lifecycle.
This presentation leverages some content from others to give an overview of System and Software Architecture in general and an introduction into the fundamentals of the Iasa architecture model.

This document presents a pattern for translating a business strategy into a technology strategy. It uses ING, a Dutch banking group, as a case study. The pattern involves extracting keywords from the business strategy, extrapolating technology themes from those keywords, and mapping capabilities to the themes to develop a technology investment strategy. This allows the technology strategy to have traceability to the business goals and drives the organization forward at the least cost. The capabilities are split into buckets to help manage ICT budgets. Executing the technology strategy and keeping existing systems running enables the business to continue functioning as new technologies are adopted.

Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.

by 3rd party suppliers against the streams.
Ensure that governance mechanisms, such as review boards,
principles, etc. are maintained and supported and are part of project
gates
Police the standards through Project and Programme engagement
Represent the organisation with 3rd parties, for example Systems
Integrators and Standards bodies
Understand the impact of the introduction of new technology into
the technology landscape of the organisation.
Develop and promote a catalogue of reusable proven patterns

5. The Architecture Community
Solution Architect
Tactical / Operational / Delivery View
Solution Architects work with the projects
and programmes with clearly articulated
outcomes and are responsible for the
delivery of designs, impact analysis,
compliance to standards and support the
needs of the project
At a minimum they can;.
• Assist with technical problem Identification
• Cost Estimation for technical work packages
• Contextualise problems
• Eliciting the non-functional requirements
• Deliver he High-Level Solution Design
• Identify the Technology ‘Pick List’
• Work on the Route to Live
• Support transition into Service
Solution Architects
“Drive the move between a
Business/Technical Problem
once identified to the delivery
of a Systems Solution when
applicable”
DRB
6. The Architecture Community
Technical Architect
• Technical Architects with Solution Architect
to assist in the realization of the solution.
• TAs are a key project resource especially at
the delivery stages of the project
• They work with the technology enablers and
deploy, manage, and support the running of
the services required for the business to
operate
Delivering technical designs and standards and the associated approvals from
the formal governance channels
Awareness and understanding of the ‘as is’ technology estate and technology
components deployed in the organisation
Providing technical recommendations and options based on solution designs
which can cost-effectively be realised in the production environment
Mitigating any technical risks that could occur through the introduction of new
technology into the landscape of the organisation
Providing input into the appropriate innovation funnels for the analysis of new
technology
Keeping abreast of technology trends, attending industry events to ensure
product roadmaps are understood by the Solution and Enterprise Architects.
Ensuring that production acceptance for projects is delivered and managed.
Performing Impact assessments on selected technology
Operational / Build – Delivery View
7. Architect acts as a Technical Authority, to establish technical guard rails and drive establishment
of an architecture runway with which the teams can apply design concepts to evolve their design
