Architecture Over Architects - Codecamp Romania

As the relational complexity of software increases, we need, more than ever, smart architecture. Domain-aligned, team-decoupling, cohesiveness-driving, constantly evolving architecture has a massive positive impact. To design systems, we need to evolve the role of “architect” away from the dualistic most-experienced implementor vs ivory tower strategist.

Architecture is a technology-agnostic skill set. You practice it regardless of which tools or programming language you work with. Architecture is a solitary, intra-group, and inter-group activity. We practice it within the human system, when we collaboratively design patterns and relationships, empower decision making and construct cross-functional feedback loops.

In this talk, we explore:

“What is an architectural decision?” (The answers might surprise you.)

How do we work effectively individually, intra-team, and inter-team to make them?

What is the “advice process” and what has it taught us?

What goes wrong (all the time) and what to do about it.
