Documenting Existing Architectures: Tips for Wrestling Order From Chaos
Overview Documenting an architecture one is building from scratch is one thing, documenting one that already exists quite another. As a software architect, one will quickly learn that designing and documenting a system from the ground up is much easier than documenting one that's already been built. Unfortunately, one will just as quickly learn that both scenarios fit under the job description. In fact, software architects are commonly called in for the worst-case scenario: the long overdue documentation of a large architecture consisting of dozens (or hundreds) of interdependent systems. A company faced with documenting such a sprawl will typically have no idea where to begin, which is, of course, where one comes in.
