Abstract

In the previous chapter, architecture principles have been introduced, explained, and justified. A number of essential architecture principles are defined in part 2. Architecture principles are the treasure of modern software architecting, distilled from decades of experience and valuable work of many architects. In order to generate the impact on actual systems, they must be taught, ingrained into the development process, and finally enforced. The organization of the company must be geared toward Principle-Based Architecting. The strategy of Managed Evolution, paired with Principle-Based Architecting, forms a robust ecosystem for the creation, maintenance, and evolution of today’s complex software-systems. This chapter introduces the context for the Managed Evolution, i.e., the most important processes to successfully implement Managed Evolution and Principle-Based Architecting.
