About Architectural Katas: What could be better than practicing software architecture with your handpicked dream team of architects? Participants in Architectural Katas, moderated by Neal Ford, work together virtually in small groups of their choosing to solve a challenge an actual organization is facing. Everyone gets the chance to practice their craft with a real software architecture problem in a safe and social environment, and the finalists and winners earn well-deserved bragging rights (not to mention an intriguing line on their résumé). Plus a selected organization working for social good will have some of its gnarliest software architecture problems solved.

How it works: You put together a first-rate team of three to five people, ready to tackle an architecture challenge. We’ll share the architecture problem with you at the kickoff on October 20. Then your team will have to solve it, working virtually in whatever way is best for you (video calls, group chat, shared docs, etc.). Teams will submit their solutions by November 3 and reconvene at the semifinals on November 17 to find out which will move on to the finals on December 3. At the finals, one member of each team will present their solutions to the judges and a winner will be announced. Registration opens October 20 following the first event; the first 100 teams to sign up will be selected to participate.

Not ready to compete but want to be part of the action? Register for the event and join us to see how Architectural Katas work, cast your vote for the winning team, and learn how to successfully present architecture plans to stakeholders.
