About ARCHITECTURE DIAGRAMS (Lots Of Interaction/Meetings Between Developers & Stakeholders)

Architecture Diagrams Are For The Stakeholder AD Should Confirm, To The Stakeholder, What Functionality Can They Expect In Each Sub-System AD Should Establish, For The Developer, That Functionality They Should Make Available In Each Sub-System Architecture Diagrams Are For The Developer Team

Good Architecture Diagrams Increase The Probability That The Designer Will Construct An Acceptable Prototype! 22

There Are A Number Of Ways To Represent Architecture Diagrams. All Approaches: Detail :High Level  Low Level Generally Involve Some Degree Of Graphical Components

A High Level Architecture Diagram(s) User Sub-System Basic Sub-Systems: User Sub-System Inventory Sub-System Vendor Sub-System Transactional Sub-Systems: CheckOut Sub-System Fines Sub-System Purchase Order Sub-System

B High Level Architecture Diagram(s) User Sub-System Inventory Sub-System Vendor Sub-System CheckOut Sub-System Fines Sub-System Purchase Order Sub-System

C High Level Architecture Diagram(s) Vendor Sub-System Fines Sub-System Inventory Sub-System Purchase Order Sub-System User Sub-System CheckOut Sub-System Basic Sub-Systems: Transactional Sub-Systems:

D High Level Architecture Diagram(s) Fines Sub-System Purchase Order Sub-System CheckOut Sub-System Vendor Sub-System Inventory Sub-System User Sub-System

At Least One Level Of Refined Diagrams (sometimes more) 2 Rights! Are We Building The Right System? Are We Building The System Right?

10+ Years Ago Bad Examples Of Student Architecture Diagrams 2 Hats - Stakeholder & Developer These Are Not Great AD's 29

A Put On The Programmer Hat Carefully Examine only the User Sub-System functionality described in each of the following (later) to determine which would be Most Helpful if you were expected to produce something similar to the Prototype Above.
