20. Issues in Agile
Seeing beyond the iteration/task
Challenging Agile Assumptions
Working software is important?
Unit testing is always a good idea?
Do we really need good developers?
Should developers and users make business decisions?
Are stakeholders actually important?
If business isn’t agile why worry about software?
Do investment cycles and budgeting limit agility to a side show?
Can agile handle governance?
Can agile include enterprise architecture?
Are documents really valueless?
21. Agile Architecture
If architecture is value then agile teams must change
Most importantly agile teams must have architects
Must be enterprise aware support existing roadmaps, bottom
up governance and strategy
Is document focused (there is no architecture without
documents) – but just good enough
Requires significant growth in architect team size
22. Agile Architecture
Participates in each sprint/iteration cooperatively
Is there for a different reason than developers
May include multiple types of architecture
May work to reduce scope or limit appearance of agility
23. Architects Are Not Technical Leads
Senior Software Engineers Are Not Architects
