1. Communication and collaboration: Communication and collaboration between the architecture and development teams are crucial to ensure alignment. The architecture team should communicate the architectural vision effectively and ensure that developers have a clear understanding of the architectural principles and guidelines that are to be followed during the development process.
2. Documenting and sharing: The architecture team should document the architectural design, patterns, and principles that are being followed and share them with the development team. They should also ensure that the documentation is up-to-date and easily accessible to the developers.
3. Use of modern tools: Modern tools such as models, diagrams, and visualization tools can be used to convey the architectural design and establish alignment with the development process.
4. Regular review: The architecture team should review the code developed by the development team to ensure that it aligns with the architectural design and principles that were communicated.
5. Conducting training: The architecture team should conduct training sessions for developers to provide them with a better understanding of architectural concepts and principles. This would help developers to align their development processes with the architectural design.
6. Continuous improvement: Continuous improvement is essential to ensure that the architecture clarity practices are aligned with the software development process. The architecture team should continuously evaluate the architecture design and development processes and make necessary improvements to ensure alignment.
