Architectural Roleplay

Architectural Roleplay is a new collaborative modeling method
that lets entire teams develop a shared understanding of complex systems.

It is in an early phase of development and is still being actively developed.

Goals

Transforming complexity into intuitive understanding

Seamless team interaction and unified comprehension

Breaking new ground with democratic architecture

Streamlined processes and optimal workflows

We use roleplay to uncover the hidden constraints and relationships in your system.

We begin with a simple scenario, which we then build on gradually based on the participants' input.

Each participant can choose a role that suits their level of comfort and daily disposition.

Roles provide a protective layer, enabling people to express ideas and concerns that they might otherwise keep to themselves.

We operate in a 'time bubble', much like a theatre rehearsal. No rushing or real-time constraints; we explore and understand.

We name constraints and document insights collaboratively, preserving knowledge for the entire organization.

Turn complex concepts into clear insights through hands-on exploration.

Build a shared architectural vision across all team members.

Uncover and understand constraints early in the design process.

Design through hands-on experience and collaborative roleplay.

Facilitate effective sharing of architectural insights.

Identify potential issues before they impact development.

Experience how Architectural Roleplay can transform your development process by making complex systems more understandable.
