Main Description
The Chief Architect (CA) is responsible for the overall design of the system. Although the Chief Architect has the last
say, in FDD, he or she is responsible for running workshop design sessions where the team collaborates in the design of the
system. This is a deeply technical role, requiring excellent technical and modeling skills, as well as good facilitation
skills. The Chief Architect resolves disputes over design that the Chief Programmers cannot resolve themselves. For
projects with both a complex problem and complicated technical architecture, the role may be split into domain architect
and technical architect roles. The Chief Architect had the last say on all design issues. He or her steers the project
through the technical obstacles confronting the project. |
