Basic Working Methods of a System Architect

abstract The challenge for the architect is to cover a wide range of subjects, with many unknowns and uncertainties, while decisions are required all the time.

The basic working methods, such as viewpoint hopping, modelling, handling uncertainties and WWHWWW questions are described.
