I hope you found it a useful look at some of the traps that I've seen people (including myself!) fall into over the years. The pitfalls are structured into a number of different areas as shown in the diagram below. </p> <div align="center"> <img src="http://www.codingthearchitecture.com/images/book/role-1.png" alt="Role of a hands-on software architect" /> </div> <p> Each of these areas is part of our view of <a href="http://www.codingthearchitecture.com/pages/book/role.html">what a hands-on software architect should do</a>, and the talk itself compliments a session I delivered at Software Architect 2008 called "Why software projects fail". You can download the slides for both sessions below. </p> <div align="center"> <a href="http://static.codingthearchitecture.com/presentations/dw2009-pitfalls-for-new-software-architects.pdf"><img src="http://www.codingthearchitecture.com/images/dw2009-pfnsa-thumbnails.png" alt="Pitfalls for new software architects" border="0" /></a> <br/> <a href="http://static.codingthearchitecture.com/presentations/dw2009-pitfalls-for-new-software-architects.pdf">Pitfalls for new software architects</a> (PDF, ~4MB) <br /><br /> </div> <div align="center"> <a href="http://static.codingthearchitecture.com/presentations/sa2008-why-software-projects-fail.pdf"><img src="http://www.codingthearchitecture.com/images/sa2008-wspf-thumbnails.png" alt="Why software projects fail" border="0" /></a> <br/> <a href="http://static.codingthearchitecture.com/presentations/sa2008-why-software-projects-fail.pdf">Why software projects fail</a> (PDF, ~6MB) </div> http://www.codingthearchitecture.com/2009/03/30/pitfalls_for_software_architects.html#comments http://www.codingthearchitecture.com/2009/03/30/pitfalls_for_software_architects.html Mon, 30 Mar 2009 08:50:00 GMT
