What this session would cover
Proposed outline — the mentor finalises the agenda once this topic is scheduled.
- 1Why architectural thinking & documentation matters — the common problem: Architecture lives in one person's head, so decisions get re-argued and forgotten.
- 2Core concepts in plain language: Architecture drivers, quality attributes, constraints, trade-offs, system boundaries, architecture decision records
- 3Going further: context diagrams, component diagrams, deployment diagrams, sequence diagrams, architecture reviews
- 4Framework walkthrough: C4 Model, Architecture Decision Records, Quality-Attribute Scenarios, Domain-Driven Design
- 5Practical workflow, built live: C4 context and container diagrams, quality-attribute scenarios and three ADRs.
- 6How to measure it: Coupling between modules, Fitness-function pass rate, Decision records kept current
- 7An illustrative case (a fictional example, not a client result), then live Q&A on your own situation
Who it's for
- • Students and freshers entering tech
- • Working developers and engineers
- • Tech leads and architects
You'd leave with
- C4 context and container diagrams, quality-attribute scenarios and three ADRs.
- A working understanding of C4 Model and Architecture Decision Records
- A short list of measures to track: Coupling between modules, Fitness-function pass rate, Decision records kept current
