08/17/2005 Entry: "Considerations for Enterprise Architects"

Just a quick run down of some domains for software, technical and enterprise architects:

1. Politics
2. Perspective and Views
3. Specialize or Don't - But Do Decide
4. Patterns, Logic and Algorithms
5. New Technology Fetishes
6. Build vs Buy
7. Resources, Money and Economics
8. Requirements and The Domain
9. Trust and Communication
10. Learning

These domains are discussed in detail at An Overly Long Guide to Being A Software Architect which really nails the type of work my peer and I do. (That's right, a 20 billion dollar company only has two enterprise architects.)
