    A Rule Architect&amp;nbsp;helps the team to:&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;ul>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        work together in an agile fashion,&#xD;

        interface well with other parts of the organisation.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
&lt;/ul>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    The Rule Architect defines the structure and organisation of the rule-based system. Outside of the standard activities,&#xD;
    skills, roles and responsibilities of a software architect, his role extends to:&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;ul>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        &lt;span style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt&quot;>Selecting the&amp;nbsp;technology to ensure performance of the rule execution&#xD;
        and usability of the BRMS platform&lt;/span>&#xD;

        editing rules, and producing one or several Rule Sets&lt;/a>&lt;/span>&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        &lt;span style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt&quot;>Building the structure of rule projects, the dependencies on the&#xD;

    &lt;li>&#xD;
        &lt;span style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt&quot;>Defining the decision services part of a SOA. Those services use Rule&#xD;

        &lt;span style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt&quot;>Ensuring that the overall deployment organization of the rules makes sense&#xD;

        &lt;span style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt&quot;>Ensuring optimization of rule execution&lt;/span>&#xD;
