Many software systems suffer from undocumented architectures, leading to frequent bugs, missed deadlines, and high technical debt. Recognizing the symptoms—such as heavy refactoring to fix issues and underestimations of task durations—is crucial. Appointing a dedicated architect to document and manage the architecture, as well as addressing technical debt, can significantly improve project stability and development speed. Continuously documenting and maintaining the architecture prevents future pitfalls and enhances overall productivity.
