Growing an Architecture-Driven Team: Moving From a Hero-Based Environment to an Engineer-Based Environment

Tags:
software engineering

Overview As a developer of software systems, one typically focuses on the finest level of detail. As a result, one can create a locally good solution that may not integrate well with other locally good solutions. In addition, the selected solutions and other components can have redundant behavior, further complicating maintenance efforts. How does one grow the development team to adopt a new viewpoint that encompasses the entire system rather than focusing just on the task at hand? In this paper, explore training and mentoring techniques that can facilitate the adoption of architecturally driven processes within development teams.
