System Architect Definition
The system architect has the task of putting together the skeleton of a software
project. Depending on the specifications gathered by the
requirements analyst,
the system architect will choose to focus on ease of maintenance, application performance,
compatibility with existing systems, or a combination of all three. Each decision that
the system architect makes has to be carefully considered because a wrong move the beginning
of a project can have damaging effects later in the software development life cycle.
