OH MY GOD! Thank you, thank you, after 20 years of searching you have described EXACTLY what I do in my job, who I am, my "tribe" if you will. I even work in the same industry sector (hospitality technology), but no-one has ever used the term 'Solution Architect' before. I have been a Software Engineer, Software Manager, R&D Manager, Technical Consultant, Project Manager, Product Manager, Business Analyst, but this is EXACTLY what I really do, and in the same language that I use that causes most of my colleagues look at me in bewilderment. Bizarrely, this is also the best video I have ever seen that summarises the whole software enterprise - but then that must be because you are describing it from the same perspective as me! I am so grateful and excited. I will be following this up!!

Extremely easy to interpret. Very helpful illustrations. As Industry 4.0 integrates into viably new companies or into the ecosystems of legacy companies across the world, the increasing role of bonafide Solution Architects are prudent to say the least. Now that I think about it, I see the 2020's decade emergence of brilliant teen and university Solution Architects in Rwanda, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Kenya, South Africa, Senegal, Morocco, Tanzania, Namibia, Kazakhstan, Singapore, Boston and Jamaica.

This is the best animated video ever. It explains my work of the last 15 years in this video. Great work.

This is great, I love the beginning with the history of the role so we can understand why there was a need for it and what it's supposed to archive. Great content.

That was super helpful. I wish that many Job Descriptions were explained same as how you explained. I Liked and Subscribed!

Perfect, best video I have seen. What multiple books tried to do in 1000s of pages this video was able to communicate in mater of mins. Kudus

I cannot thank you enough. This video really gave me a thorough insight into SA role.

[mohammadajafri]

Good presentation, but a correction is due.. Solutions architects shouldn't normally select patterns at the level suggested - MVC / Factory / Controller level. This should be done by either "software architects" - a role that's pretty defunct across most sectors - or more commonly by the Technical Lead / Lead Engineer types

Awesome value in 12 mins . Crisp explanation and covers all vital points. I could learn a lot. Thank you

The soft jazz "Take me out to the ball game" at 3:40 is wrecking me and my ADHD. XD

Very good approach of SA role, responsibilities and interaction within the teams and individuals. Congrats

[waldmatias]

Wow... I got my MS Solution Architecture certification way back in 2003 and it wasn't until I saw this video that I fully understood all of skills I have, have learned, and have practiced in all of my projects ever since. Pad in my own back, my friend! :D

I'll be watching all the rest of your videos as well, thanks a lot for making these, they are super great

[Dwavard]

Hands down the best Solution Architecture explainer video I've ever watched - perfect when swotting for an Agile exam :-)

[yoericktv]

Loved this video. So in depth and there’s no fluff. Thank you. Subbed!

[Mikejl]

More videos like these please. Super refreshing to find vids like this explained so well and entertaining

[varadh]

Solution architect : Very well articulated. Keep up the good work :)

[bogsalite]

Simple and straight to the point! Good stuff!

This was a very helpful delineation between these roles. Thank you. Can I ask that you avoid real songs for background music? I'm trying to listen to the talk, and all I'm able to hear is "Take Me Out to the Ball Game". There's plenty of canned non-descript music out there.
