Unique "how-to" focus is invaluable whether you're a software architect,

software engineer, or IT executive

Implementing and managing software architecture across a value chain, product line, or enterprise can be tremendously difficult.

Software Architecture: Organizational Principles and Patterns offers the first complete roadmap for building software architectures that achieve the most demanding goals-now, and for years to come. Discover how to: * Establish a product-line architectural framework and vision that managers, administrators, and developers can buy into * Implement architectures that anticipate and predict change and can easily adapt to new business requirements * Address the organizational issues that make or break enterprise software architectures

The authors, a team of leading architects, will show you how to field resilient, long-lasting architectures. Software Architecture: Organizational Principles and Patterns introduces the breakthrough VRAPS (Vision, Rhythm, Anticipation, Partnering, and Simplification) model for software architecture and demonstrates how to leverage it through real-world case studies, patterns, and antipatterns.
