Description
Stand up or modernize an Architecture Review Board (ARB) that accelerates delivery instead of slowing it. You will define intake, review, and decision patterns that scale from small changes to major integrations. A lightweight charter clarifies scope, participants, and artifacts required for transparent governance. You will build templates for decision records, waivers, and exception handling that prevent stagnation. Guides show how to balance standards with autonomy using guardrails and paved paths. You will integrate security, reliability, and finance signals into one visible scorecard. Meeting formats minimize slide theater and maximize constructive feedback. You will practice coaching teams to self-serve reviews with checklists and quick-start kits. Examples illustrate how ARBs reduce duplication, manage tech debt, and keep integrations coherent. By completion, you will operate a helpful, respected ARB that supports product velocity and architectural health. Everything is designed to be right-sized for startups, scale-ups, and enterprises.
