Assessment is a widespread activity that can be approached uniformly. Humane assessment offers a concrete approach rooted in the idea that engineers can craft custom tools to capture the specifics of the system at hand and use these tools for effective decision making. In this Learning Path, you'll examine new processes, skills, and a tooling platform for conducting a humane assessment of your software architecture.In this video, we dive deeper into the nature of tools and how they affect the way we work. We show how the same skills and techniques that were described in Growing Agile Architecture by Empowering Teams are also applicable to a broader range of problems, and we introduce humane assessment as a systematic method for software assessment. The theoretical parts are exemplified with concrete case studies.
