Today I finished writing a one-pager on Architecture in an agile context to be used at an Ericsson conference coming up. While the corner-stones of agile development really isn't anything new, the way it has been presented and "sold" to the development community has really started what can only be described as a revolution. Ok ok it didn't exactly start just now, the Agile Manifesto was carved out almost 10 years ago and a lot of software-heavy industries has already moved a lot in that direction. However in industries with tangible products combined with embedded software the shift has merely begun.
I live under the impression that in traditional software companies the agile ideas, normally, take root in the developer community and then spread out from this epicentre of coders. In many of the embedded companies I've seen though I think a different angle could be more beneficial: start the cultural shift beginning with the "architects".
If it weren't for the traditional fredagsfika coming up, I could expand my idea a bit. Maybe next time.

10 years? I think it started alreday 2 million years ago with Homo Erectus when our brains devleoped heavily. But somewhere we seem to have forgot all about it... But (again), it is the same thing now. Then it was called human groups and tools, now it is call agile and model-based development.
