Presentation: "Top Ten Software Architecture Mistakes"
Time:
Tuesday 15:40 - 16:30
Location:
Store Sal
Abstract: Today, the role of the software architect is widely recognised
and most large system development projects are led by someone who takes
particular responsibility for the system-wide technical factors, such as
ensuring that the system will provide the right set of qualities (such
as functionality, availability, security and performance) for its
stakeholders.
In recent years we've also seen a welcome increase in the number of
resources available to the aspiring software architect, including useful
books, community web sites and interesting blogs. However ultimately the
success of a project is often found to be closely related to the amount
of hard won experience that the project team has - by which we really
mean how many mistakes they've learned from so far! Experience is a hard
but very effective teacher.
In this talk I'll share some of the pitfalls that I've encountered in my
experience as a software architect and in doing do, hopefully make sure
that you avoid making just the same mistakes on your projects.
