Architecture, frameworks, methods and techniques are all tools in the toolbox that the modern architect needs to have at his or her disposal. What makes good architects is knowing which tools to use for different scenarios. This means learning and understanding the best techniques to diagnose the problem space and then correctly mixing those tools to achieve the needed business outcomes. This requires a strong understanding of big picture connectedness and seeing how it all fits together. The ability to understand these tools and how to link them together from shareholder value right down to technical implementations is one of the reasons that make our advanced courses in architecture successful in the industry.
