Title: Perceptions
On Architecture Management And Architect’s Profession
Abstract: Architecture management requires a considerable amount
of human knowledge and experience. However, there are few scientific results
that could guide to improve the knowledge and skills of architects. This
paper provides a preliminary study that contributes to the issue. Our study
shows e.g. that the architecture terminology is yet unestablished and the
requirements for architecting skills are unrealistic. These findings indicate
that architecture management is still a somewhat immature discipline. Because
one person cannot likely be a jack-of-all-trades, we suggest that successful
architecture management could be enabled through improved communication,
i.e. better individual communication skills combined with practical and efficient
teamwork.
