Date
2008This paper provides a view of the software
architecture development and management
process. It reviews the literature and practitioners’
experiences relating to the factors that cause
success and failure for software architecture and
classifies these factors into subgroups. This study
demonstrates that the success of software
architecture depends on multiple factors. Project
management, organisational culture and
communication, the skills of architects and
architectural know-how, architecture methods and
practices, the quality of system requirements and,
finally, architecture solutions seem to affect the
achievement of successful architecture.
