Styleguide and Architecture Principles

Written by Juergen Pitschke on .

Some time ago style guides were popular. In the Internet you can still find some of this offers. Users ask today about it.

We offer three documents for help and Guidance.

  • The Style Guide
  • Modeling Guidelines
  • Governance Rules

"Disciplined Agile Delivery" defines various roles in the team (Mark Lines, Scott Ambler: Introduction to Disciplined Agile Delivery) (a hybrid framework that incorporates various agile approaches) defines different roles. The framework differentiates between "Primary Roles" (necessary in every project) and "Secondary Roles" (depending on the project). See "Roles on DAD Teams".
