Author Description

The software architect role is evolving. As systems and their interactions with the teams that build, run, and evolve them become more complex, it's often impossible for those playing the traditional architect roles to be everywhere they need to be. There's simply too much architecture to be done, and the situation has reached a breaking point. There's a better way. Author Andrew Harmel-Law shows you how architects and development teams can collaborate to create and evolve more efficient architectures for their systems. Techniques in this book will help you learn how to create a mindset that allows everyone to practice architecture and build the best systems they've ever experienced. With this book, you will: Understand the new dynamics that affect modern software delivery Learn a methodology that brings software architecture and development together Nurture the fundamental interplay of decisions, advice, architecture, and feedback from running systems Initiate practices that maximize benefits and mitigate risks Create an approach tuned to architecture, everyone's skills, and your organization's culture
