This authoritative and practical introduction to solution architecture is suitable for new entrants to the field but also of benefit to experienced professionals wishing to consolidate their knowledge and skills. Tools and techniques are presented in the context of a framework and life cycle, taking a problem or idea through logical steps to design a holistic, evidence-based solution. There is a focus on collaboration with the business as well as with disciplines such as enterprise architecture.
This book is an enjoyable and refreshing read, offering readers a comprehensive and contextual introduction to the discipline of solution architecture. As organisations are reimagining traditional business models, adopting agile ways of working and accelerating digital transformation agendas, this book highlights the importance of communication and collaboration throughout a solution architecture lifecycle including the voice of the customer and ongoing stakeholder interactions. This book provides a complementary framework for solution architecture that refreshingly re-enforces that ‘…unlike a strict methodology where activities are mandated, a framework is meant to be a guide, not a driver or constraint.'
