Audience

This interactive workshop is aimed at anyone who wants to document software solutions to a high standard and has a technical background: Developers, architects and product managers. Participants should already have practical experience in IT projects. Knowledge of a specific technology or programming language is not required.

Description

The most important task of a software architect is to communicate the architecture. In addition to textual content, it is also important to create graphics. True to the motto “A picture is worth a thousand words”, diagrams help with effective and pragmatic documentation. To be effective, they must be easy to understand, always up-to-date and correct.

In this workshop, we will first identify the weak points of many diagrams and then consider how we can work around them. The result is a checklist for really good, almost fantastic architectural diagrams. As a bonus, we will show you how to implement maintainable diagrams using the docs-as-code approach to keep them up to date and in line with the architecture at all times.
