Keypoint

Adopt this component by...

'Every noble work is at first, impossible.'

- Thomas Carlyle

C-Suite: When asking an Architect a question, do not expect an Engineering answer.

Questions to ponder...

How do you react when an Architect talks about unknown unknowns?

How do you react when you cannot see what an Architect is trying to explain?

How do you react when an Architect is in the minority?

How do you react when an Architect exposes (fundamental) things that may cause you to change a previous decision or cause you to 'throw away' work?
