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.
