No involvement in strategic decisions.
Less scope for delegation.
Sees big picture of the system before it is
built.

strategic implementation.
Evaluates and compares all available
options and selects one which is best for
business.
Goes for best fit solution for the
organization.
More scope for delegation.
Responsible for implementation
Defines general layout of the system.
Heavily involved in coding.
Usually not involved in coding.
Tend to recommend a tool/language he is

Make distinction more clear
• Architect in software world is one who designs
systems almost similar to Building Architect.
• Difference between developer and architect is
same as between civil engineer and Architect.
• Both make building but architect designs it to
specs after taking lots of factors into
consideration and civil engineer see whether
strength of cement mixture or width of steel rod
enough to support building same way architect
sees whether exposing it as webservices is
advantageous to SAP or integrate with BAPI.
Categorization
• Strategy – Value Creation e.g. CMMI, PCMMI
• Valuation and Decision making: Break Even
Point, six sigma.
• Organization change culture: e.g. RACI
(Responsible, Accountable, Supportive,
