Effective Software Architecture: Building Better Software Faster (Early Release)

Effective Software Architecture unites entire software development teams!

Effective Software Architecture: Building Better Software Faster is the essential handbook for making software architecture an effective function within organizations and product development processes while putting whole software teams on the same page. Industry elite Oliver Goldman provides a comprehensive perspective on the set of real-world skills and practices this work requires: a predictable, repeatable design process; the ability to make decisions expediently and effectively; a comprehensive and consistent communication strategy; tools that promote efficiency; and a team that is greater than the sum of its parts.

Goldman's engaging prose articulates how to make software architecture an effective tool for product development. Rather than focusing on a specific architectural style or technology, this book's goal is to make software architects better at design, decision making, and team communication while helping software product managers, program managers, UX designers, and other team members understand how architecture functions within the software development process. Goldman's work is essential to helping the whole team streamline thinking and communication processes for consistent team success.
