Architecture and Design Due Diligence#

Have you done due diligence on early-stage project design and architecture?

Many software projects do not validate their early-stage design and architecture. Then we wonder why so many projects fail, despite using the latest development processes, tools and technologies.

Process is no substitute for good design. Tools and technology cannot fix inappropriate architectural choices. It is no good waiting until the project is clearly in trouble. Early stage validation can save considerable sums of money by ensuring that sound design and architecture choices don't hamstring development and delay system deployment.

Validation Comes From Outside#

Mature development processes insist on outside validation and review of early-stage software design and system architecture. Some organisations go as far as insisting that design and architecture is reviewed by several outside consultants as validation of their teams' design plans, platform and technology choices.

Design Assurance#

Experienced software designers welcome the opportunity to have their work validated and reviewed by expert peers. An outside designer's input frequently serves to confirm their instincts, sometimes gives them the confidence to implement solutions and design approaches previously considered "too risky" but better suited to requirements, and often introduces ideas, tools and methodologies outside their experience.
