Learning objectives
- Explain Risk-Driven Review and RCDA-Style Prioritization as part of an architecture feedback loop involving decisions, review, and long-term consequences.
- Use Risk-Driven Review and RCDA-Style Prioritization to make architecture work inspectable: what was decided, why, what risks remain, and how success will be measured.
- Use
fundamentals-of-software-architecture,just-enough-software-architectureto connect the learner explanation to ADRs, review methods, and architectural fitness functions.
Prerequisites
- Comfort with architecture tradeoffs, modular patterns, DDD boundaries, and API design decisions from the earlier semester modules.
