Even the simplest architectural diagrams can be difficult or errorprone to draw. Making diagrams that everyone can understand and agree on greatly increases transparency and cooperation among parties with diverging interests. Misunderstanding the significance of charts, relying on improper or inconsistent guidelines, or lacking architectural education are more likely to be the root causes of problems than using a less efficient Architectural Description Language. Combining automatically generated with manually created diagrams can help save time, show a wider range of issues, and ensure that all necessary abstraction levels are covered in the final product.
