Panel: Death of the Architect

Feedback form is now closed.
For a long time, various architect titles have been used across the industry, but the roles and responsibilities of the architect have never been very clear. In several places, architects have moved away from engineering responsibilities, forcing some of the brightest engineers to perform tasks that didn't quite require engineering skills or the appetite to learn new technologies. More recently, in many organizations, architecture is becoming a shared concern. In this panel, we'll debate what's happening to the role of software architect and how teams should make important crosscutting design decisions.
