Facilitating Software Architecture: Empowering Teams to Make Architectural Decisions

by Andrew Harmel-Law (Author) Format: Paperback
4.7 out of 5 stars (12)

Purchase options and add-ons

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

Explore how teams can collaborate on the architectures of their systems to ensure that everyone and everything is working toward the same goal.
What you'll learn The distinction between architecture and design; the relationship between code, components, and architectural styles; and how to work with common architectural styles. How to use architecture patterns and make architectural decisions; how to use coupling, cohesion, partitioining, and granuality; soft skills; and engineering practices. How to design appropriate diagrams and documentation, and master written, verbal, and nonverbal communication to succeed in technical settings. How to work with an organization as a whole, connecting the IT engine room to the penthouse, where the business strategy is defined. How to determine service granularity, manage workflows and orchestration, manage and decouple contracts, and manage distributed transactions to how to optimize operational characteristics. How to create a collaborative, decentralized mindset that allows everyone to do architecture and build the best systems they've ever experienced.
Who is this book for? If you're a software developer looking for a quick on-ramp to software architecture, this handy guide is a great place to start. Senior software developers, aspiring and 'accidental' software architects, and software architects looking to solidify their knowledge. Software developers and software architects who want to learn how to communicate their architectures effectively. Software architects, senior developers, enterprise architects and senior technologists. Software architects who are ready to delve into the 'hard parts' of software architecture. Those who are in a position to affect change in how their software is architected and designed and are inclined to try something new.
Who else is it for? Those who want to gain an understanding of architectural dimensions and understand the differences between architecture and design. Those in other roles that need to understand the main concepts of software architecture. Those in other roles that work with software architecture and want to understand diagrams and documentation further. CTOs, senior technical architects and IT managers who are devising an IT strategy that impacts the way the organization works Those in other roles who would like to understand more about the complex decisions in software architecture. Traditional decision-makers (aka architects) who know that ‘doing architecture the way we always have’ no longer works, as well as developers keen to step up and take on architecture responsibility.

Andrew has a passion for open source software and its communities. He's been involved with OSS to a greater or lesser extent since his career began, as a user, contributor, expert group member, and paid advocate--most famously as one of the Jenkins Job DSL originators. Andrew enjoys sharing his experience as much as possible, in formal consulting engagements but also informally through mentoring, writing blog posts, speaking at and organizing conferences, and open-sourcing his code.
