Thanks Steve for sharing this. I am sorry to hear about your condition. I am sure as you survived Big C, you will survive the small C as well. Take care and thanks.

@rails,

By "Make decisions easy to change later", do you mean, 1. Getting the Module structure of the system correct with well defined contracts between them so that they can be changed, updated independently of each other.

Thanks for your inputs.

@maps7, Thanks for your inputs.

Do you want to share any further insights about what factors you use to narrow down the choices about the correct ways? Similarly how do you go about managing the Constraints & Trade-offs - Do you change the scope? Do you negotiate to relax the constraints etc.

Thanks.

In my company I am going to conduct a session on 'Being an Architect'. I have my own insights, experiences to share from playing the Architect role for 10+ years. But I thought it will be great if I can also learn from the experiences of others playing a similar role and share it with the attendees.

I would love to hear any insight, perspective, experience, opinion on Being an Architect. But if someone is looking for some specific questions then I have attempted to come up with few of them as below:

+ What aspect of the Architect role do you like the most and Why? + What challenges do you face in your role and how do you manage them?

+ What is your process of arriving at an Architecture for a given requirement? + How do you identify the key requirements to be addressed by Architecture and the ones to be addressed by the later design phase? + How do you manage competing Design concerns/constraints while Architecting? + Do you seek contributions from others while Architecting? How do you elicit contributions from others? + How do you review your Architecture? + How do you build acceptance for your Architecture within the Team? How do you build consensus among stakeholders?

+ How do you self-evaluate your effectiveness in playing the role of an Architect? How do you decide the aspects you have to improve on? + What Qualities, Personality Traits, Habits do you think have help you become effective in your role? Similarly what Qualities, Traits, Habits became a hindrance in playing the role? + What is your process of Continuous Learning? How do you identify technologies/skills for learning?

+ What in your opinion are some great examples of well Architected Systems and Why? + Who are your Role Model Architects and Why? + What will be your advise to aspiring Software Architects?

I am already going through some other similar threads but would love to hear more from the community.

I agree this is an awesome post and a really great example of how every Root Cause Analysis needs to be done. I am also impressed by their incident response.
