About Architectural Katas: What could be better than practicing software architecture with your handpicked dream team of architects? Participants in Architectural Katas, moderated by Neal Ford and Mark Richards, work together in small groups of their choosing to solve a challenge an actual organization is facing. Everyone gets the chance to practice their craft with a real software architecture problem in a safe and social environment, and the finalists and winners earn well-deserved bragging rights (not to mention an intriguing line on their résumé). Plus a selected organization will have some of its gnarliest software architecture problems solved.
How it works: Participants put together a first-rate team of three to five people, ready to tackle an architecture challenge. We’ll share the architecture problem with them at the kickoff on September 19. Then the teams will have to solve it, working in whatever way is best for them (video calls, group chat, shared docs, etc.). Teams will submit their solutions by 11:59pm ET September 30 and reconvene at the semifinals on October 10 to find out which will move on to the finals on October 24. At the finals, the teams will submit video presentations (due 11:59pm ET October 16) and the audience votes on the winner.
