- How active is your organization in terms of integrating disparate security analytics and operations tools together to form a more cohesive security software architecture?
- Which common software architecture design technique of machine learning you found being used in most companies through your experience?
- How many times has there been a change in architects with the new architect making fundamental changes to the system structure?
- How software architecture descriptions can be exploited to enhance the effectiveness of a requirements satisfaction test plan?
- Have you attempted to develop PC based simulation that might be considered a basis for a common software architecture?
- Does the environment provide adequate stimulation to experiment with service orientated open software architectures?
- Is the software architecture documented, including the interfaces between software items and external components?
- Do you have a flexible software architecture that supports your business needs and reduces costs simultaneously?
- What are the main architectural decisions on software architecture design of different machine learning systems?
Complete the self assessment, on your own or with a team in a workshop setting. Use the workbook together with the self assessment requirements spreadsheet:

Results
With this Three Step process you will have all the tools you need for any Software Architect project with this in-depth Software Architect Toolkit.
In using the Toolkit you will be better able to:
- Diagnose Software Architect projects, initiatives, organizations, businesses and processes using accepted diagnostic standards and practices
- Implement evidence-based best practice strategies aligned with overall goals

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 Architect investments work better.
This Software Architect All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person.
