Software Architecture and Software Project Management - A Joint Venture for a Software Success

Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.

Software Architecture and Software Project Management both areas are very close to my heart. Both have equivalent importance for the success of a software project and product and they both have interconnecting goals too. As an integral part of Software Architecture, goal would be to have a successful design, it’s proper implementation and sustainability for a longer period of time. As an integral part of Software Project Management, though the area of operation would differ, goal would always be a successful completion and delivery of the project / product. Scope, Time and Quality remains a common factor to both of them. However, Software Architecture goes beyond to just the completion of software development. In ideal situation, Software Architect and Project Manager are 2 different roles which are good to have in a software firm. However often these roles are merged with a new role namely Technical Manager / Solution Architect / Tech Consultant. With my personal experience of being a Manager and wearing a hat of Architect (as and when required), writing design documents for the product and also managing the team schedule, considering both the managerial as well as technical aspects, I would like to share: • How indirectly various important attributes of Software Architecture were implemented. • Challenges that come up when you play both roles. • How important it is for an organization to have both as different roles? Benefits and challenges associated with it. In addition, with this session I will also talk about: What are the aspects of both the areas which would jointly bring out what I would like to call S3 - A Successful and Sustainable Software?
