We Don't Need No Stinkin' Architects! Are software architects necessary?

Nobody denies the need for software architecture, but many challenge the idea that you need a dedicated software architect to get it. Michael Stiefel compares software to painting to answer this question. Yes we do need architects, but not for the reasons that many think.

This was the keynote talk at the Boston Architect Factory on January 27, 2010.

It more often has to do with one's level of problem solving skills, planning, and ability to align technology with business strategy.

This discussion between Jim Wilt and Zhiming Xue explores challenges that organizations often face while adopting technologies, and discusses proven field architectural practices and some strategy tools and approaches that will assist stakeholders in becoming owners of their solutions -- taking responsibility for their outcomes. This results in greater customer satisfaction, as the focus is all about enabling problem solvers (not expecting products) to deliver successful solutions.
