The Creed

 (v1.1) Last updated 23/11/11

Unchanged Updated New
Communication
  • I believe that communication is crucially important as an architect.

  • From the point of view of understanding other people, getting others to understand me, me understanding things and other people understanding things.

  • Without good communication, no relationship can survive or thrive.

1) I evangelise the value of Architecture and its benefits. v1.1 NEW
2) I strive to create a "safe environment" where people are free to express their views without fear of punishment or recrimination. v1.1 NEW
3) I relate new things that people do not know to things that people already know. v1.1 CHANGED
4) I can vehemently agree with someone about subject/point B when I have only recently vehemently disagreed with the same person about subject/point A. v1.0 UNCHANGED
5) I commit whatever time is required to explain and convince others when I am right. v1.1 NEW
6) I can always explain the reasoning behind my views. v1.1 NEW
7) I can clearly communicate conceptual, logical and sometimes complex issues and trade-offs to a any audience. v1.1 NEW
8) I am comfortable talking and presenting to large groups or individuals at any level. v1.1 NEW
Integrity
  • I believe that integrity is crucially important as an architect.

  • An architects biggest asset is the trust he is afforded by the people he works for and the people he works with.

  • Without trust, no relationship can survive or thrive.

1) I ensure the interests of the organization as a whole are addressed even if they appear to conflict with immediate management. v1.1 CHANGED
2) I stand up and give an unpalatable truth when no one else will, even though it may mean I lose my job. v1.0 UNCHANGED
3) I will seek to terminate a consulting engagement early if it transpires that the customer can get no or little value by continuing. v1.1 CHANGED
4) I always tell the truth. v1.1 NEW
5) I never hide or disguise things. v1.1 NEW
6) I tell clients what they need to hear which is not necessarily the same thing as what the clients wants to hear. v1.1 NEW
7) I expose and correct things at the earliest opportunity when I am wrong. v1.1 CHANGED
Understanding
  • I believe that understanding is crucially important as an architect.

  • If we do not understand something, how can we form opinions or solutions to problems.

  • Without understanding, no relationship can survive or thrive.

1) I believe that the most important question to ask is - Why? v1.1 CHANGED
2) I see patterns and structure in everything from traffic congestion to Pop Music. v1.0 UNCHANGED
3) I spend more time understanding a problem domain than determining a solution. v1.0 UNCHANGED
4) I spend more time asking questions and listening than I do talking. v1.1 NEW
5) I can see disagreement between people when those people think they are in agreement and vice versa. v1.1 CHANGED
6) I can abstract any thing or idea to a logical and conceptual level. v1.0 UNCHANGED
7) I constantly self-analyse what I do and how I do it to determine how to improve myself and my work. v1.1 NEW
8) I know the difference between Architecture, Design & Construction. v1.1 CHANGED
9) I know the difference between layers of abstraction; Contextual, Conceptual, Logical, Physical. v1.0 UNCHANGED
10) I know the difference between a Model, a Metamodel, and Metametamodel. v1.0 UNCHANGED
