Title:Architecture Engineering
Proposer: Tom Gilb
Type: pre-conference tutorial
Duration: 360 mins
Description:
The use of a quantified Planning Language to articulate all quality and other performance variable attributes of all designs, architecture ideas, and strategies as a basis for Architecture Decisions and Quantified Agile Project Management (Evo)

We will teach the following practical tools:

1. The discipline of estimating the impact of any type of 'design idea' on any quantified system requirement level (as defined by a Scale of measure, and a Goal or Tolerable level of requirement)

2. The corresponding discipline of estimating the design costs in several dimensions such as capital expenditure, calendar time, and human resources

3. The use of the Impact Estimation Table discipline, for articulating the quality of estimates: +- uncertainty, % of Goal or Budget, Source, Evidence, Credibilty, Safety Factor

4. Process and Specification standards: Procedures, Rules, Templates, Principles, for Architecture Engineering. Derived from the Competitive Engineering book (digital copy supplied free).

5. Case studies of use of the Architecture Engineering method

6. Application of Dynamic Design Prioritization

7. Project Management consequences of this basis for articulating the Architecture.
