Direction & Architecture

Software architecture that helps the team make better decisions.

Architecture should reduce uncertainty, expose trade-offs and make delivery easier. Moka Inspire helps teams assess existing systems, define target architectures and make practical technical decisions without turning architecture into an abstract exercise.

We can help with

  • Current-state architecture assessment
  • Target-state architecture
  • Modernisation strategy
  • System decomposition
  • Integration architecture
  • Scalability and reliability concerns
  • Cloud/application architecture
  • Architecture decision records
  • Technology option analysis
  • Non-functional requirements
  • Technical roadmaps

Common triggers

  • “We are about to make a decision that will be expensive to reverse.”
  • “Our architecture exists in people’s heads.”
  • “The system grew organically and we need to understand the shape it is in.”
  • “We need an independent architect to challenge the current direction.”
  • “We need a plan before we start a major change.”

From one week

A focused architecture engagement can start with a one-week assessment or decision sprint, then expand only if the problem warrants it.

Deliverables

Possible deliverables include diagrams, decision records, risk maps, recommendations, prototypes and implementation slices.
