In addition to making technical decisions, architects can help change the organization’s structure and processes to support this transition. To do that, architects need to take the express elevator from the engine room to the penthouse, where business strategy resides.
Brimming with anecdotes from actual IT transformations, this book prepares software architects, senior developers, and other IT professionals for a more complex but rewarding role in the enterprise.
This book is ideal for:
Architects and senior developers looking to shape the company’s technology direction or assist in an organizational transformation
Enterprise architects and senior technologists looking for practical advice on how to navigate technical and organizational topics
CTOs and senior technical architects who want to learn what’s worked and what hasn’t in large-scale architecture and transformation
IT managers seeking to understand how architecture can support their technical transformation agenda
