Publication: Death by Architecture

The story goes like this: the high priests and architects depart for the ivory tower and return some months or years later with “The Revealed Truth,” in the form of 1,000 pages of architecture documents. In the meantime, new applications have been developed, requirements have changed, and the architecture is out of date on delivery. Other reasons may also contribute to its being DOA: It may be irrelevant to the development organization or might not have enough buy-in to be accepted. It may be hard to understand its value or how it achieves business goals, or dozens of other reasons.<br/>
