Are you a software architect?
I ran a tutorial at the QCon London 2012 conference last week where we focussed on the software architecture role. Throughout the day I asked the audience a number of questions, the answers to which I summarised on the flipchart at the front. Here are the questions and answers...
Is software architecture important?
What does the software architecture role include?
Should software architects code?
What soft skills are needed to undertake the software architecture role?
Who might be interested in your software?
What pitfalls are there for people new to the software architecture role?
Interesting that the software architecture role we discuss is so different from what you typically find in many organisations, huh? :-)
Thanks to everybody who came along!
