Understanding the concerns of architecture
Engineering managers work in vastly different work contexts where one of the starkest contrasts can be practices and expectations during systems design. Managers must be aware of their work context and have an understanding of the level of structure that is provided. They must fill in the gaps to ensure all considerations are covered to produce a successful design. To this end, this section will take a perspective of a low-structure work context in order to be broadly inclusive of what some engineering managers will need to provide to their teams. You may not need to worry about some of the concerns in this section, or they may be highly regulated and understood in your workplace—if so, feel free to jump ahead where desired.
To understand the concerns of architecture, we will learn about a broad set of factors that influence the viability of different architectural choices, dive deeper into some of the more intricate considerations...
