Abstract
Acquiring architecture evaluation skills is crucial for successful architecture evaluation projects. While this book provides answers to many questions in the area of architecture evaluation and introduces a comprehensive methodology, very good architecture evaluation skills will only come with practical experience. We will point out in the following how skills for architecture evaluation complement general architecting skills. A great source of skills is to explore a large number of software systems and their architectures in great detail and to try to follow these software systems and their maintenance over their entire lifetime. Accompanying experienced evaluators is a great source of learning: observing how they work with stakeholders, thoroughly investigating the technical solutions, and presenting the results to management at the right level of abstraction.
