The Software Architect´s Role in the Digital Age

Abstract

Internet scale, the increasing rate of technology evolution, and the broad adoption of lean and agile methods have triggered a profound change in not only application and infrastructure architectures but also the software architect's roles and responsibilities. This article reviews the field's state of the art, identifies the skills of the connected architect, and gives an overview of related education programs and knowledge sources.
