Keeping Architectures Relevant - 4 Feb 2010
Oct 30, 2014
Too many systems seem to become legacy upon release, while some never even have a chance to move into production before they are undermined by the calcification of unmet expectations and mismatched domain needs. Regardless of the design effort early in the lifecycle, neglect of the domain model and inflexible design results in the increasing irrelevance of the initial architecture of a system.
Sustainable and successful software development is all about managing complexity and enabling change, and successful architects create designs that clearly address both. As an architecture is allowed to emerge, evolve, and mature, it becomes a true reflection of the deep understanding of both domain experts and developers. Architects who expect their initial design to evolve, and who design with evolution in mind, create architectures that deliver a strong competitive advantage to the business.
