Activity 34

Question--Comment--Concern

This is a collaborative, visual activity that gets the whole team talking about the architecture—what they know, what they don’t know, and what keeps them up at night. Use this activity to shine a light on knowledge gaps, articulate issues, and establish known facts about the architecture.

The inclusion of comments during the workshop is meant to fast-track issue resolution. Issues that result from simple gaps in understanding can be resolved immediately so the team can focus on the bigger concerns. As an architect you can even choose to add questions during the workshop as a simple sanity check (described).
