The Software Architect has a tough job. He has to design an architecture that will result in a fast, secure, reliable and easy to maintain system.

During my 15 years as an Architect I've worked on hundreds systems, and with many other Architects, and I've come to realize there are some common mistakes Software Architects do, which result in their glorious architecture becoming a catastrophic failure.

These mistakes, surprisingly, has nothing to do with technology or architectural patterns. They boil down to behavior, relationships, accountability and more.

In this session we'll review these mistakes, suggest ways to avoid them, and use some real life stories to demonstrate their impact.
