As I designed Digital Solutions, business leaders had better perspective of ecosystems. If I have designed a product, Product Manager had a bigger picture of market need.

As an Architect, I have always struggled to have a glimpse of the bigger picture so that everything else makes sense. A project, a solution, a product, a system – everything has a bigger something. Scientists say that the big bang made the universe expanded from a million billion billion times smaller than an atom to several billion galaxies today.Įverything in this universe has a bigger perspective. Just like another of those 70,000 clicking thoughts in the daily routine. Years later, as I write this blog to reflect about those thousands of clicks, something clicks in my brain. And that was the initiation to the thinking and acting like an Architect. I was younger and had energy, enthusiasm, curiosity to be an Architect. It was a book on Solution Design & Architecture. It was the difference between a Designer and an Architect. Kept reading for several times till I thought I have understood it.Ī designer designs for things that happen when one user clicks on the button, an Architect thinks through what happen when thousands of users click on the button concurrently. Then, I also remembered reading something that changed my perception. Are you an Architect? Have you ever wondered what is this big picture thinking people talk about? As a Developer, I used to wonder about it often.
