TREENODES SERVICES

# Software architecture

We design new systems and review existing ones, connecting business requirements with software structure. The aim is to make responsibilities, dependencies and trade-offs clear enough for a team to implement and evolve the system.

THE WORK

## What the engagement can include

We agree the deliverables around your system, priorities and scope.

### Useful architecture views

System context, application boundaries, responsibilities and key data or integration flows.

### Design decisions

Technology options, architecture trade-offs and the reasons behind important choices, assessed against business requirements, integration needs and operating constraints.

### An implementation route

Prioritised changes, dependencies and questions to resolve through a prototype or focused technical investigation.

WHEN TO START

## A useful fit when…

-   A new system needs an agreed structure and integration approach.
-   A routine change affects too many parts of the application.
-   Your team needs to compare a redesign, integration or staged migration.

THE APPROACH

## How we work through it

1.  Understand the business goals, current software, constraints and the change being considered.
2.  Review dependencies and test design options against important workflows and failure cases.
3.  Agree the design and a sequence of implementation steps that the delivery team can use.
