Co-construct the design of the solutions / solution architecture in order to :
Guarantee the quality of the deliverables
Be more confident on the Solution we design → "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." - African proverb
Their compliance with the expectations of the various technical stakeholders (Security, Ops, DB experts, ...)
Tech leads / team members from the teams concerned by the High Level Architecture
At least 1 member of the Architecture team
1 facilitator
Regarding the topics other people can have a real added value :
Other teams representatives concerned by the High Level Architecture
Enterprise Architects
Ops
Security
Domain experts
Other technical experts
For each new big feature, bring together the team that will work on the topic as well as the technical experts in order to co-construct the future solution including for example :
Definition of the Architecture Characteristics (Non Functional Requirements)
Based on business needs
Definition of the expected logs / monitoring solution
Definition of the integrations
Data models
Taking into account infrastructure and security constraints
...
Prepare the session :
Define the subject (the need)
Define the objective (the solution)
Prepare something to "break"
It can be draft of diagrams on a white-board for example
Identify who must / need to be there during the session
A session is ready when it respects the Definition Of Ready (DOR)
In a DOR you could find : Business capabilities concerned, Draft of API contract, Collaboration diagram depending on the topic of the session
ADR (Architecture Decision Record)
Explaining which decisions have been taken and why
Diagrams drawn and agreed during the session
Serve as an input for the Solution Design
Update of the Tech-radar (add something in Assess for example)
Tackle complex problems in small sessions
You have all the brilliant mind in the same space to solve the problems
Shorten feedback loops
Increase organizational Knowledge Sharing
