1. Technical debt: The absence of architecture clarity practices can result in the accumulation of technical debt. Technical debt refers to the cost of maintaining and fixing a poorly designed system. As time goes by, the cost of fixing technical debt increases, leading to long-term expenses that are difficult to control.
2. Poor system performance: Systems that lack architecture clarity can be slow and unresponsive, leading to poor user experiences. When the design of a system is not properly planned, it can lead to technical bottlenecks that can negatively impact performance.
3. Increased project cost: When there is no clear architecture plan for a project, there is a risk that developers may need to redo work that has already been done. This can lead to higher project costs due to increased development time and resources.
4. Difficulty in scaling: A system that lacks architecture clarity can be difficult to scale. As more users or features are added to the system, it may become slower or less efficient, ultimately making it more challenging to expand.
5. Security vulnerabilities: Architecture clarity is critical for ensuring the security of a system. Without it, vulnerabilities can more easily go unnoticed, leading to potential data breaches or other security risks.
6. Poor collaboration: Architecture clarity is essential for ensuring effective collaboration between developers, architects, and other stakeholders on a project. When there is no clear architecture plan, team members may work against each other, leading to conflict and delays.
