Note

Design process guidelines include:

Recognizing the important of quality attributes and prioritizing them for each system being designed. Quality attributes should be kept up to date throughout the life cycle of the system. Trade-offs and details of how a system will meet qualities should be noted.
Involving a technical lead in the design process. Although architectural design can be applied to many different technologies, involving a technical lead will help identify any implementations that may pose a challenge, which may need to be re-considered in the design.
Taking a design approach from the perspective of different groups of stakeholders.
