Tahar explains the need for an architecture committee via the Garbage Can Model. Developed in the 1970s, this model describes organizational decision-making as a chaotic process where problems, solutions, and decision-makers exist in separate streams.
According to Tahar, this 'garbage can flow' is missing three items: decision alternatives, consequences, and consequences vs. objectives. Organizations must ensure these points are covered to avoid late projects and budget waste.
The Architecture Committee at Decathlon plays a crucial role in guiding teams through intricate decision-making processes, similar to the Advice Process. It provides support and guidance rather than making decisions for software engineers.
