Software Architecture Cheat Sheets for Product Managers

Review technical debt, service dependencies and capacity before committing to a change. The free English A4 PDF contains four fillable sheets with checks to work through and space to record decisions.

What’s inside

• Technical debt. Compare the cost of waiting with the effort and capacity needed to fix the constraint.
• Dependency map. Trace one user action through the services and data it needs, then describe what happens if a dependency fails.
• Campaign capacity. Turn a peak traffic estimate into a test that reflects the user journeys you expect.
• Architecture decisions. Review ownership and dependencies when Engineering proposes a service or storage change.
