Architects Aren’t the Smartest People in the Room

by Gregor Hohpe

But they make everyone else smarter! It’s a common misconception that architects should make those complex and difficult to reverse decisions. Development teams are usually better equipped to make these decisions because they are closest to the action and have to live with the consequences of their decisions. Architects should therefore help the teams make better decisions. This talk shows architects how they can make the most impact by not making decisions.
