Architecture in an Agile Organization

As companies begin to embrace Agile methods, such as Scrum and Extreme Programming (XP), questions about architecture begin to emerge.

• How is architecture implemented in an Agile organization?
• What is the software architect's role with Agile development?
• How should architecture be discussed with business stakeholders?

Too often, Agile software development methods are tagged as "architecturally weak" or "disconnected from the realities of delivering large systems." However, leading software architects are pushing through the noise to rapidly evolve the Agile architecture discipline.

This session focused on the experiences of one expert and his approaches to better align businesses with architecture goals.
