95. Thank you http://developingux.com @calebjenkins caleb@calebjenkins.com @proactionmentor

96. Architecture Architecture Spans Multiple Projects Architectural Design ∙ Technology Direction Platform ∙ Library ∙ Toolkit Adoption Coding Practices & Standards ∙ Code Reviews Team Process ∙ Automated Builds ∙ Automated Unit Testing Development Coaching ∙Pair Programming Lead Development Lead Development Lead Development Lead Development Project Coding Project Coding Project Coding Project Coding Lead Developer focused on specific projects

97. our team is too small for a dedicated architect we must all wear multiple hats

98. unfortunately architectural concerns take a back seat to development get in the way of development

99. we don’t have time for code reviews software mentoring coaching on better practices POC’s

100. development suffersfrom architectural distractions architectural meetings emails team concerns team process & enablement

101. Architect on Retainer a cost effective solution to focus on architectural concerns
