Why write an architecture for a simple project?

An architecture document is for you and for your client. It helps you understand what you’re responsible for building, what goes into it, what constitutes completion of the project, and how much time it will take each of your team members to complete. On the flip side, the architecture document helps you client understand what they are getting and questionably more important, what they are NOT getting.

Since you do this for a living, it is often easy for you to understand what goes into a system and what you or a development team think of as common sense, may totally escape your client. This makes the architecture a critical document whether you’re building a small website or a large SaaS platform.
