📄️ What is Solution Architecture?
Ask ten people for a one sentence definition of Solution Architecture and you’ll likely get ten different answers. As sensible a summary as any would be…
📄️ Why is it useful?
It may be more appropriate to replace the word useful with necessary. Complex requirements, large numbers of components, legacy systems, cross dependencies etc. In the same way that city planning or building design necessitates an architectural type role so too does providing modern IT solutions.
📄️ How is it done?
TODO - THIS NEEDS MUCH MORE WORK. CURRENT THOUGHTS ARE TOO VERBOSE. I’M CURRENTLY DESCRIBING THE INITIATION STAGE OF A LARGE SCALE PIECE OF WORK. MAYBE SOMETHING THAT JUST TOUCHES ON 1) INITIAL REQUIREMENT, 2) INITIAL DESIGN, 3) LOWER LEVEL REQUIREMENTS, 4) MID LEVEL DESIGN.
📄️ Who is involved?
Solution Architects work with a number of other teams and individuals. Roles such as analysts and project managers are common to most organisations. Others will vary according to the nature of the project and organisation.
📄️ When does it become useful?
Solution Architects are generally involved very early in a project lifecycle. Their involvement is typically a prerequisite for technology projects of any non trivial nature.
