Visual Communication for Software Architecture & Design

Communicating software architecture is a crucial aspect of being a successful software architect, however, this is a skill you don’t get taught. Learning by trial and error is not ideal, so how do you create inclusive diagrams and visuals that successfully communicate to your audience?

You have to apply communication design patterns and recognize antipatterns. The purpose of a software design or software architecture diagram is to successfully communicate with the audience, which sounds deceptively simple. Communication design patterns can be applied to guide you towards the goal of successful communication, and maximum inclusion for your audience.

In this presentation, a solution architect – and thought leader in communication design and documentation – explains how to tailor your software architecture visuals to your audience, choose the most appropriate standards (or not) and level of detail, and apply patterns to improve accessibility for all audiences.
