Project Design can seem overwhelming, but with the right kind of practice and application it can transform your career. In this session we will review the project design of a small system, visit the project during various stages of its execution, and review the final results of those efforts. This presentation will also reveal key observations into the nature of organizations, teams, and projects to assist current and future project and solution architects in their efforts. Finally, we will discuss the impact that solid project design and successful execution can have on a person’s career and how that impact is necessarily more significant than architecture alone.
