Software Architecture Toolkit

Save time, empower your teams and effectively upgrade your processes with access to this practical Software Architecture Toolkit and guide. Address common challenges with best-practice templates, step-by-step work plans and maturity diagnostics for any Software Architecture related project.

Download the Toolkit and in Three Steps you will be guided from idea to implementation results.

The Toolkit contains the following practical and powerful enablers with new and updated Software Architecture specific requirements:

STEP 1: Get your bearings

Start with...


• The latest quick edition of the Software Architecture Self Assessment book in PDF containing 49 requirements to perform a quickscan, get an overview and share with stakeholders.


Organized in a data driven improvement cycle RDMAICS (Recognize, Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control and Sustain), check the…


• Example pre-filled Self-Assessment Excel Dashboard to get familiar with results generation


Then find your goals...

STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track

Featuring 994 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Software Architecture improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 994 standard requirements:


1. Which are the features of a research method to meet and evaluate security, scalability, performance, openness, interoperability of the software architecture mentioned earlier?
   
   

2. How do the nature of tactics, software architecture patterns, and requirements interact with each other to influence the achievement of reliability in a software architecture?
   
   

3. How active is your organization in terms of integrating disparate security analytics and operations tools together to form a more cohesive security software architecture?
   
   

4. Which common software architecture design technique of machine learning you found being used in most companies through your experience?
   
   

5. How many times has there been a change in architects with the new architect making fundamental changes to the system structure?
   
   

6. Have you attempted to develop PC based simulation that might be considered a basis for a common software architecture?
   
   

7. Does the environment provide adequate stimulation to experiment with service orientated open software architectures?
   
   

8. Do you have a flexible software architecture that supports your business needs and reduces costs simultaneously?
   
   

9. What are the main architectural decisions on software architecture design of different machine learning systems?
   
   

10. How do you allow for multiple operations to occur on several different hardware and software architectures?

STEP 3: Implement, Track, follow up and revise strategy

The outcomes of STEP 2, the self assessment, are the inputs for STEP 3; Start and manage Software Architecture projects with the 62 implementation resources:


• 62 step-by-step Software Architecture Project Management Form Templates covering over 1500 Software Architecture project requirements and success criteria:


Examples; 10 of the check box criteria:


1. Risk Audit: Is an annual audit required and conducted of your financial records?
   
   

2. Procurement Management Plan: Are staff skills known and available for each task?
   
   

3. Decision Log: What eDiscovery problem or issue did your organization set out to fix or make better?
   
   

4. Probability and Impact Matrix: What will be the likely incidence of conflict with neighboring Software Architecture projects?
   
   

5. Risk Management Plan: Risk documentation: what reporting formats and processes will be used for risk management activities?
   
   

6. Monitoring and Controlling Process Group: Do the partners have sufficient financial capacity to keep up the benefits produced by the programme?
   
   

7. Team Member Status Report: Are the attitudes of staff regarding Software Architecture project work improving?
   
   

8. Stakeholder Management Plan: Are there unnecessary steps that are creating bottlenecks and/or causing people to wait?
   
   

9. Project Scope Statement: What is the most common tool for helping define the detail?
   
   

10. Cost Management Plan: Is the Software Architecture project schedule available for all Software Architecture project team members to review?

Results

With this Three Step process you will have all the tools you need for any Software Architecture project with this in-depth Software Architecture Toolkit.

In using the Toolkit you will be better able to:


• Diagnose Software Architecture projects, initiatives, organizations, businesses and processes using accepted diagnostic standards and practices

• Implement evidence-based best practice strategies aligned with overall goals

• Integrate recent advances in Software Architecture and put process design strategies into practice according to best practice guidelines


Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role; In EVERY company, organization and department.

Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'

This Toolkit empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make Software Architecture investments work better.

This Software Architecture All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person.
