This bit made me stop reading immediately: "The task is way too large to get an understanding of for most programmers. It has to be sent back to an architect.."
I checked the date to see if it wasn't written in 1982 before I closed the tab.
Yeah, that was a really poor comment. If your developers can't break down a 1-week task without an "architect" stepping in, then either your process is broken or your developers suck (or both).
It was the last section though, so I guess you read it all regardless.
That had me wondering too. Does anybody actually work in a place where there are tiers of programmers like that? Where the "regular programmers", when facing something complex, give up and walk over to a person with the title of "architect" and have them plan out the high level tasks for them? What a strange place that must be to work.
