Since patterns are only one type of reusable assets,
why not "Avoid reinventing the wheel" rather than "leverage
patterns"?
I
think "Perspective" is overloaded (see book by Nick Rozanski and Eoin
Woods). Why not "Focus on key elements"
Since
both "component" and "service" are also overloaded, how
about something like "architect with chunks", given the vernacular of
some of the other items :)

Pete

[epf-dev] Some comments on our
"Focus" aka Architecture practices....
|
|
Hello Everyone
Just some thoughts on our “focus” practices….
|
Share the dream –
|
I really, really like having this here, nicely
links architecture and collaboration. It states our view that architecture is
important as a collaborative mechanism.
|
|
Leverage Patterns
|
Good
|
|
Architect with components and services
|
If I wanted to minimize the number of practices I
may consider removing this one – I know it is core to RUP, but
components and services have very specific meanings to a lot of people and we
do not want to imply that OpenUP is only suitable for one architectural class
of project.
|
|
Focus On Key Perspectives
|
Good
|
|
Kiss
|
We really need this one. This is our more
sophisticated version of YAGNI. I have been in too many shops where a
focus on architecture has lead to bloated supposedly “future
proof” architectures. The Einstein quote really captures the
intention behind this one.
