Workflow Detail: Perform Architectural Synthesis
|
The purpose of this workflow detail is to construct and assess an Architectural Proof-of-Concept to demonstrate that the system, as envisioned, is feasible. | |

Description
This workflow detail is about showing that there exists, or is likely to exist, a solution which will satisfy the architecturally significant requirements, thus showing that the system, as envisioned, is feasible.

How to Staff
As with Workflow Detail: Define a Candidate Architecture, these activities are best carried out by a small team staffed by cross-functional team members. Issues that are typically architecturally significant include performance, scaling, process and thread synchronization, and distribution. The team should also include members with domain experience who can identify key abstractions. The team should also have experience with model organization and layering. From these inputs, the team will need to be able to synthesize a model, or even a prototype, of a solution.
Work Guidelines
This work takes place during inception, and so should be limited to one or two iterations. The purpose is to determine feasibility, not to construct the system during this workflow detail.
