Architectural katas are structured practice sessions for architects, similar to how programmers practice through coding katas. They involve groups of 2-3 people tackling architectural problems, moderated to facilitate discussion and peer review. The process includes examining requirements, presenting solutions, and receiving feedback through a voting mechanism.

There are usually 4-10 groups Katas are generally run by a moderator
- 4. Expected output Entities Value Objects Aggregates Bounded Contexts Event Storming Diagrams End to end high level architecture diagram
- 5. Preparation Co-workers may not be in a group together Make sure you’re sitting a little distance from any other project team None of you will really need a laptop Precure supplies Notepads Pen/Pencil Whiteboard (if available)
- 6. Discussion Phase YOUR PROJECT TEAM SHOULD SPEND ‘X’ MINUTES(FIXED BY MODERATOR) EXAMINING REQUIREMENTS YOU MAY ASK QUESTIONS TO MODERATOR ABOUT THE PROJECT ANY TECHNOLOGY IS A FAIR GAME YOU CAN TAKE ASSUMPTIONS W.R.T TECHNOLOGY BUT MAKE THEM EXPLICIT YOU MAY NOT ASSUME YOU HAVE HIRING/FIRING AUTHORITY OVER THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM.
- 7. Peer Review Phase Present Present your solution to the rest of group(teams) Answer Answer questions asked from others Ask Ask questions to the team presenting their architecture
- 8. Voting Phase Thumbs up Thumbs "meh" (out to the side) Thumbs down
