Be conscious of your choices
DECISIONS
‘What significant decisions have I made?
‘What significant decisions were made before I
came along?
‘Have I assumed that the solution must look
l ike this?
‘Have I adopted an architectural pattern?
‘Would the solution be different if...
• the SLRs were different?
• This was not for UNSW?
• I could get rid of <blank>?
• I had better engagement with
business?
