For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

Join forces with me, Paul Preiss, and the visionary program architect Stefano Bianchini, as we navigate the lesser-known seas of orchestrating monumental transformations within sprawling organizations. Unlock the secrets behind the title of a program architect, a role that's often cloaked in mystery, yet pivotal in steering projects that ripple through every business unit, shouldering immense budgets and expectations. Our dialogue ventures beyond the typical architect's blueprint, drawing from my tenure as a chief architect, and aligns with Stefano's astute observations on how these strategic roles are instrumental in charting the course for enterprise-wide evolution.
As we thread through the labyrinth of specialization in technology architecture, we illuminate the vital role of mediating between the tech gurus and the corporate chiefs. Hear firsthand how to cultivate a deep reservoir of technical wisdom, while mastering the art of shaping intricate tech jargon into narratives that resonate with those who sit at the head of the table. We'll share war stories of battling imposter syndrome and forging a path to become trusted advisors—valued for our ability to influence pivotal executive decisions and advocate technology as a cornerstone of business strategy. Stefano and I examine how the journey of a program architect, although not eternal, leaves indelible marks on the canvas of an organization, intertwining with the expertise of enterprise architects, domain specialists, and beyond.

Have you ever wondered how architecture can be made inclusive, or how artificial intelligence could assist an architect? Prepare to have your curiosity satiated as we chat with the esteemed Simon Field from RDoC, who leaves no stone unturned in the realm of architecture. He takes us on an intriguing journey through the SARM system, his association with Volkswagen in Germany, and the fascinating concept of architecture as a service that will change your perspective on how you view architectural design. We unravel how the power of graph models can make architecture accessible to everyone by visualizing data and giving us a shared picture. Simon also enlightens us on how AI can be our ally in identifying patterns, and how architectural thinking can be applied to IT systems, service design, and even business model design. This episode is a blend of innovation, creativity, and intelligence that emphasizes how technology has revolutionized the world of architecture. This episode is a goldmine for: Architectural Design Thinking : How it's revolutionizing the industry. Vendor Tools : The gap between what's available and what architects truly need. Architecture as a Service : Simon's innovative vision of breaking down architectural processes. Machine Learning in Architecture : The untapped potential of AI and machine learning. Stakeholder Management : Navigating the complex world of stakeholder communication. Digital Transformation : The pivotal role of architectural thinking. As we conclude, Simon shares his three golden rules for success in architecture: automating tasks to save time, harnessing the power of AI technologies, and engaging others in architectural thinking. We also discuss the battles many architects face with existing tools and the idea of creating a toolset exclusively for architects. Don't miss this unique opportunity to gain valuable insights from a revolutionary in the field and elevate your architectural thinking.

How do we know architects are architects? Why does the industry continue to have such collisions in definitions, direction, and roles if architecture is so important to continual outcomes? This two-part continuation of the architecture mashup series provides insight into a murky topic area in search of answers.

I had the honor of talking with Len Bass in this episode of the Argument. Leonard Joel Bass is an American software engineer, Emeritus professor and former researcher at the Software Engineering Institute, particularly known for his contributions on software architecture in practice. His most famous title is a book almost all architects have read Software Architecture in Practice, and his other books are just as essential to the modern architect! In this session Len and I discussed modern architecture approaches with an eye towards design rigor and sustainability, but with a realistic view of similarities and differences in architecture complexity and design today. As one of the first authors I ever read as an architect this was a real pleasure for me!…

Is You Is or Is You Aint An Architect 1:01:35

cách đây 4 years trước1:01:35

1:01:35

The software or solution architect often comes from an engineering background. In this episode Cormac Keogh and Paul Preiss speak about the relationship between engineers. In a true argument the case of engineers, teams and architects. Can or should an engineer be the architect for a product/project? The team? Is there a difference between a titled architect and engineer? How do they work together? In our research over the years one of the most critical paradoxes is the continued confusion over the boundaries between architect, engineer and developer. I separate these into three even though there is no industry-wide adoption of particular boundaries. For the purpose of this argument think of developers as self-taught and focused on smaller problems (no I don't mean title I mean competency!), engineers as trained and mentored but focusing on systemic structural elements and architects as outcome driven, trained and mentored creative and innovation focused with strong overlaps in depth skills with their counterpoints at certain points but with a focus on breadth and rounded out competencies.…

I have been fortunate enough to know Grady Booch for almost 20 years and I have always remained a fan. Without his advice Im not sure how far Iasa would have come. This interview was as great a conversation as always. In it we cover a lot of territory. We start out with understanding architecture, software and engineering. And in a very candid way get to know what it is like to be an industry leader at the top of his game in 'A day in the life of Grady', we dicuss AI and ethics, and what Grady calls embodied AI which is a term I think will catch on as we edge nearer and nearer to general AI. We also discuss engineering techniques, and Grady's coming book on Software Architecture. Pattern languages applied to all sorts of scenarios. This is a MUST listen episode for anyone wanting to be a modern architect. Grady Booch is an American software engineer, best known for developing the Unified Modeling Language with Ivar Jacobson and James Rumbaugh. He is recognized internationally for his innovative work in software architecture, software engineering, and collaborative development environments.…

In this episode I caught up with Ted Neward, an old friend and the first speaker at an Iasa conference many many years ago! We discuss agility and architecture as well as dig into what makes effective engineering teams, devops and much more. Ted Neward is sometimes referred to as "The Dude of Software", owing to both his remarkable (some say frightening) resemblance to the Jeff Bridges character from "The Big Lebowski", and his ordination as a Dudeist Minister of the Church of the Latter-Day Dude , but he's also been called the "Dr. Gregory House of Software", owing to his tendency to pull no punches when talking about software and how to deliver it successfully. He's comfortable answering to either title, as well as a few others. He's familiar with more programming languages than most people knew existed, and hasn't found one yet that he couldn't turn into a 'mission-critical' application when asked. He is currently the director of technology at Quicken Loans.…
