Software architects are technical leaders
Software architects are technical leaders of a software project and should be committed to the project no matter what challenges arise. They provide technical guidance to management, customers, and developers. As such, they are often a liaison between technical and non-technical resources.
Although software architects have many responsibilities, foremost among them is being responsible for the technical aspects of software systems. While the software architect collaborates with others, as the technical leader the software architect is ultimately responsible for the software architecture, its design, and the architecture documentation for a software system.
