Agile architecture

While waiting for Windows 7 to install I started to scribble some stuff on a piece of paper. One very long piece about MBSE which I will post in a bit and one shorter piece on agile architecture.

I simply started to make some bullets what agile architecture is to me.

- Much more collaboration between product managers and architects. Much much more. They should be like bread and butter.

- It is about setting an initial structure but maintain an everlasting mentorship/coaching role... without getting to cranky if the structure have to change along the way... simply because there might be a more fitting structure.

- It is about using models and other visual means to spread your ideas

- It is about creating patterns and other OTS-solutions that can be applied to common problems

- It is quite a lot about communication and providing a service

Basically it is all about using techniques that make you a good architect but take leverage in the agile philosophy.


And of course there are more down to earth implications such as how you would act in a Scrum team etc but I ran out of paper...

Do you have more bullets?
