Understand Reason of the Dilemma
1. Waterfall model and phase-based earned value management2. Contract Game3. Metrics organization, Functional teams 4. Go to the solution domain too soon5. Defined process over Motivated People6. Separate these who doing the work and who improving the work7. No Gold plating

Customer Centric Consideration
Global Thinking for development team
Team collaboration, meaningful discussion
Mandatory for Scrum/XP Adoption

Tips on Architecture and Non-Functional requirement Concerns
What’s architecture
Architecture is the fundamental organization of a system embodied in its components, their relationships to each other and to the environment and the principles guiding its design and evolution.
-- IEEE-Std-1471-2000
What’s architecture
• What’s the primary determination factors of architecture? -- Non functional requirement
• What’s decision can be deferred and what can not be? -- Driven by risk and cost of change
A Conceptual Flow of the ATAM
From: http://www.sei.cmu.edu/architecture/tools/atam/
Thinnest Slice and Steel Thread
• Tech Risk focused• Just enough work to
prove the concept• Mock is allowed or even
encouraged• Code generated is not
supposed to directly reused
Spikes
• On Architecture decision validation
• On Development Tech.
• On Performance
• On Algorithm
• On User Experience
• On Business Process• On Domain Knowledge
Tips
Facts
Architecture is an ongoing job instead of an one time activity
What ever he does, in reality every SW developer is an Architect
Try
Run design workshop regularly with Engage stakeholders
Prove with real code (spike), don’t be “astronaut architect”
Build thinnest vertical slices to drive the Architecture Skelton out
Do customer-centric features with major architectural impact first
Defer the decision to the last responsive minutes
Performance Concerns -- discussion
What determines the Performance
What determines the theory limitation
What is the actual bottleneck
Why？How?
