People from IT industry often ask me what is the difference between roles and responsibilities of Architect and Project Manager. While the overlap in responsibilities is unavoidable and both are equally accountable for the overall success of the project. While an Architects should focus on quality of the solution, PMs should concentrate on quality of the program.
The Architect’s Job is to: (a) maximize the value and quality of the solutions we deliver and (b) to maximize the potential of your technical team Understanding the current landscape is the key - Understand client stake holders and decision makers and understand existing environment, sub-systems and dependencies.

As a Web Architecture Consultant he specializes in IT Management Consulting and Enterprise Architecture with a speciality in High Performance SOA and Open Source Frameworks. I sure did take a long time to enter actively into blogosphere. Honestly, as a passive player all this time, I have gained a lot from the adept content of some serious bloggers. That strongly encouraged me to contribute back to the community, and learn in the process as well.
