Vorgehensmuster für Softwarearchitektur

Work on your software architecture driven by requirements. Tailor the architectural effort to your own context. Benefit from current insights into collaboration and approaches. Effectively integrate architecture with the implementation and delivery of software. Rethink architectural work in scaled contexts. Your exclusive advantage: An e-book is included with the purchase of the printed book.

Approaches to architectural development are sometimes decades old and have not adapted to the shift towards agile methods. Compared to current project management practices, architecture appears heavy and outdated. This leads to software architecture being either neglected or struggling to integrate into today’s dynamic environments. Modern projects operate in teams, are highly flexible, and very results-oriented. In close collaboration with the customer, high-quality products are created. Architecture must also adapt and, in some cases, reinvent itself. This is already observable in practice. Development teams collaboratively address architectural tasks, architecture is decided "just-in-time," and integrates into the usual prioritization process of requirements and activities. Theory still has some catching up to do in this regard.

This book does not present another process model for software architecture. Instead, it introduces lightweight building blocks of good architectural work that can be applied in a problem-oriented manner to improve your project. There is no "tailoring," no several hundred-page thick specification, or inappropriate checklists. Using a proven structure of patterns, a common problem from project practice is described and provided with a methodological solution. The solutions reference each other, are combinable, and together form the picture of a new architectural discipline. A discipline that does not focus on the...
