An Overview of Architecture Practices for Achieving Agile at Scale

Abstract

The phrase agile architecture evokes two concepts: 1. An architecture that is versatile, easy to evolve, and easy to modify, while resilient enough not to degrade after a few changes. 2. An agile way to define an architecture, using an iterative lifecycle, allowing the architectural design to tactically evolve over time, as the problem is better understood.In the best of worlds, wed like an agile process that leads to a flexible architecture.This presentation will introduce attendees to basic architecture concepts that developers use to develop large-scale systems in an agile lifecycle. These concepts include: the business case for architecture, architecture essentials, and architecting with just enough anticipation as an enabler for agile at scale.
