both from a technology and business domain perspective. • People skills – communicate and collaborate with the business in order to create the best architecture. • Lots and lots of reading, but focus on breadth rather than depth. • No longer focus on writing code, except for R&D, proof of concepts. • More focus on writing technical specifications and documentation. • Ownership – you are responsible for the whole architecture.
be more involved in “the big picture”. • I became more interested in the business domain. • I have a passion for designing systems. • I could see how all the pieces fit together. • My soft skills evolved, particularly communication. • I am analytical, and I have always loved research and learning. • My company and I saw value in using my skills as a dedicated Architect.
