Architecture at large scale, such as in enterprises and organisations with complex infrastructure, puts very different demands on the role than being a software engineer or even solutions architect. For sure, you will need solid technical skills.

And we touch on the challenges of the role and how they deal with it.Links you may want to follow up on:- Lean Software Architecture http://www.leansoftwarearchitecture.com- Melvin Conway's paper: "How do committees invent?" http://www.melconway.com/Home/Committees_Paper.html- Conway's Law: http://www.melconway.com/Home/Conways_Law.htmlGet in touchThank you for listening!
