Responsibilities of software architects

responsibilities of the software architect the architect leads and coordinates technical activities and artifacts throughout the project. The architect needs to establish the overall structure of each Architectural View: Detailed organizational structure of the view, grouping of elements, and interfaces between these main groups. Therefore, compared with other roles, architects focus on breadth rather than depth. (Defined in RUP) staffing "an ideal architect should be both a writer and a digital scientist. He should also be familiar with history and be keen on philosophical research, proficient in music, medicine, law, astronomy, and astronomical computation." --- Vitruvi (Ancient Roman architect), about 25 Bc In short, architects must be versatile, mature, insightful, and experienced. In this way, he can quickly understand the problem and make careful judgment based on experience without obtaining complete information. More accurately, architects (or members of the Architecture Team) must have the following skills: experience: it includes both experience in the problem field (by thoroughly understanding the requirements) and experience in the software engineering field. For an architecture team, these quality requirements can be borne by each team member, but at least one architect must be able to grasp the overall situation of the project. Leader Talents: they can promote the technical progress of each team, make critical decisions under pressure, and then implement them to the end. To improve efficiency, architects and project managers must work closely together. The architect is mainly responsible for solving technical problems, and the project manager is mainly responsible for solving administrative problems. Architects must have the right to make decisions on technical issues. communication: win the trust of others to persuade, motivate, and guide others. Architects cannot rely on commands for leadership, but must win the approval of other people in the project. To improve efficiency, architects must win the respect of the project team, Project Manager, customer, user group, and management team. the goal-oriented, proactive, and unremitting pursuit of results. Architects are the technical driving force behind the development of the project, rather than being homesick. In his career, successful architects have always had to make a compromise decision in the case of uncertainty and pressure. Architects can succeed in the project only by focusing on what they should do. from a professional perspective, the architect must have a role: all the abilities of the designer. Team. If the project is large and a framework team needs to be set up, we should try our best to gather talents so that the Team has both extensive experience and a consistent understanding of the software engineering process. The architecture team should not be a committee composed of representatives of various teams, fields or contractors. Software Architecture Design is a long-term task and always requires full-time personnel.
