About Architecture katas

Architectural Katas are intended as a small-group (3-5 people) exercise, usually as part of a larger group (4-10 groups are ideal), each of whom is doing the same kata. A Moderator keeps track of time and acts as the facilitator for the exercise.

Each group is given a project that needs development. The project team meets for a while, discovers requirements that aren't in the original proposal by asking questions of the "customer" (the Moderator), discusses technology options that could work, and sketches out a rough vision of what the solution could look like. Then, after they've discussed for a while, the project team must present their solution to the other project teams in the room, and answer challenges (in the form of hard-but-fair questions) from the other project teams. Once that challenging phase is done, the room votes on their results and the next project team take the floor.

Characteristics
• Non-competitive, collaborative, fun environment
• All skill levels are welcome
• Safe to try new ideas
