The longitude and latitude of software

Technical Architect（TA）see project from vertical angle, while System Analyst(SA) and Designer(SD) see project form horizontal angle. They cooperate together, so, the software matrix view is formed.

Just like you see a building, when you stand on the top of it, you can see the aisle, hall, bedroom, washroom and etc for every floor, this is Architect's angle of view; when you stay in one floor, you see just this floor's things, and according the whole architecture.

So, Architect is independent on detail business logic, function, module even project, they see every project from layer's angle; while analyst and designer is business relevant, they see project from business angle, and designer will according architect's architecture to finish his design for certain function.

Architecture is the longitude of software, Business is the latitude of softare, I call this software transit.
