Solution Decomposition

Intermediate (SA, EA)4-6 hoursDecomposition canvas + domain/service/component hierarchy guide

How to break large, complex systems into smaller, independently manageable parts — so different teams can build, own, and change them without stepping on each other.

Common Architecture Patterns

Intermediate (SA, EA)5-7 hoursPattern selection guide + pattern comparison matrix + anti-pattern catalogue

Proven, reusable solutions to recurring structural problems — each with known trade-offs that make it suited to some contexts and unsuitable for others.

...this pattern goes wrong when misapplied. Here's the part that catches people out: a pattern isn't a solution. It's a starting point that you adapt to your context, with known risks you choose to accept....

Delivery, Implementation & Architecture Runway

Intermediate (SA, EA, TS)4-5 hoursArchitecture runway template + delivery dependency map + agile architecture checklist

How architecture supports delivery instead of blocking it — covering architecture runway, phased implementation, dependency management, keeping teams unblocked, and recovering when architecture goes wrong during delivery.

...drawing. Delivery without architecture is just code that will need rewriting. I've seen architects produce designs that teams couldn't implement, and teams produce code that architects didn't approve. The result...

Security Is Not a Gate. It Is an Architecture Property.

Security is treated as a gate at the end of delivery. It should be an architecture property designed into three distinct boundaries. Here is the model that fixes the friction between security and delivery.

...at the end of delivery — creating friction, delays, and a false sense of safety — instead of being designed into the architecture as a structural property Key insight: Security decisions belong at the...
