Abstract


This paper focuses on research related to the difficulties introduced by academic re-sources management in institutions of Higher Education and specifically in the Fundación Universitaria de Popayán, a private university, where the planning of aca-demic scenarios is performed manually at the beginning of each academic period for an average of 1,776 subjects and suitable location for an average of 8,000 students, which leads to determine the importance of considering a software architecture that theoretically supports software development, physically and logically, allowing de-velopment in a successful and reliable way that reduces errors, costs, and time in the results, specifically for the case study at the Fundación Universitaria de Popayán. Therefore, the research has made it possible to find the need for an architectural vision and a base for the effective development of software, supported by the different views of authors with years of research on the subject. The research itself is supported by the agile design thinking methodology, the basis for meeting the needs of the end user, and where the quality attributes workshop method is included in the prototyping phase, which guarantees to involve stakeholders in advance for the control of quality attributes in the project. This article shows the flaws that arise in the academic scenar-io management process and the importance of establishing, from the architecture and agile methodology, a process that remedies the difficulties of the process performed.
