The first step in preparing for capability on demand is to set up for capacity on demand, but this can only occur after a CIO gets the IT house in order operationally. An IT organization that cannot manage operations effectively because it lacks understanding of costs relating to business performance and outcomes will have trouble evaluating the price-for-performance trade-offs offered by external suppliers.
Are You an Accidental or Intention Software ArchitectRandy Ynchausti
This presentation challenges viewers to consider what knowledge body and skills base a professional software architect possesses. It was presented originally at the UT IASA Chapter meeting November 21, 2013.
Talk I gave at the IT Architect Regional Conference in Phuket Thailand on October 8th, 2009. Full title as given was "Agile Architecture: A practical approach for combining holistic design with process agility". Happily it seemed to be well received.
Presentation from Microsoft Tech.Ed Australia and Tech.Ed New Zealand Sept 2009. It discusses the role of the Solution and Application Architect in the successful delivery of software projects. It is also applicable to Infrastructure Architects. The role of the Agile approach to software development is also discussed and issues highlighted.
This is take two of the presentation, some things added, some removed, but still the regurgitation is best..
The purpose is to raise your awareness of software architecture in light of modern day agile development. Disciplines to incorporate and reconsider

Software architecture for developers by Simon BrownCodemotion
The agile and software craftsmanship movements are pushing up the quality of the software systems we build, but there’s more we can do because even a small amount of software architecture can prevent many of the problems that projects still face, particularly if the team seems to be more chaotic than they are self-organising. Successful software projects aren’t just about good code and sometimes you need to step away from the IDE for a few moments to see the bigger picture. This session is about that bigger picture, software architecture, technical leadership and the balance with agility.
A completely subjective look at the direction the role of the architect might take in years to come, as we endeavour to keep up with the ever accelerating pace of change.
Transforming Software Architecture for the 21st Century (September 2009)Dion Hinchcliffe
Evolving an important theme I've been working on and presenting all year, this new deck summarizes how enterprise architecture and large scale technology-based business solutions must transform to be more effective in the 21st century.
Contains material on a hypothesis for what's wrong with today's EA as well as potential solutions of merit such as emergent architecture, WOA, enterprise REST, open supply chains (APIs), mashups, and other models.
Presented this week in Oslo Norway to Bouvet's enterprise architecture council.
We now acknowledge that complete upfront requirements is an impossible mission. Agile approaches have emerged as a way to manage the creation of systems that can never be completely defined and are certain to change.
But what about architecture and design for these systems? How much is the right amount? How do you plan for emergent design? What is the architect's role on an agile project?
Topics include:
- Role of the agile architect
- Agile design
- Keeping change easy
- Reducing technical risks
- Capturing non-functional and technical requirements and constraints
- Dealing with technical debt
- Addressing architectural concerns within the Scrum framework
- Tests – They're not just for finding bugs
- Architecture anti-patterns
Why We Need Architects (and Architecture) on Agile ProjectsRebecca Wirfs-Brock
This is an updated version of this talk which I will present at Agile 2013.
The rhythm of agile software development is to always be working on the next known, small batch of work. Is there a place for software architecture in this style of development? Some people think that software architecture should simply emerge and doesn’t require ongoing attention. But it isn’t always prudent to let the software architecture emerge at the speed of the next iteration. Complex software systems have lots of moving parts, dependencies, challenges, and unknowns. Counting on the software architecture to spontaneously emerge without any planning or architectural investigation is at best risky.
So how should architecting be done on agile projects? It varies from project to project. But there are effective techniques for incorporating architectural activities into agile projects. This talk explains how architecture can be done on agile projects and what an agile architect does.
Composable Software Architecture with SpringSam Brannen
What does the architecture of a modern enterprise Java application look like? What have we as a community learned from our past? What does it mean to design a composable architecture? And how can Spring help developers meet the needs of enterprise applications in 2013 and beyond?
In this keynote presentation at Java Breeze, core Spring Framework committer Sam Brannen invites the audience to explore what it means to design, develop, and test modern enterprise Java applications following a composable software architecture model. Along the way, Sam will show how the Spring ecosystem and programming model fit into the larger picture of modern enterprise Java applications.
In the last two decades, refactoring for code and design smells have received considerable focus from both academia and industry. This talk covers large scale refactoring for architectural smells which is gaining considerable attention from the software engineering community in the last few years. The main focus is on real-world case-studies and experiences in performing large scale refactoring for architectural smells from both industrial and open source projects. This talk will provide useful pointers to the participants on how to deal with refactoring for architectural smells in real-world contexts; further, it will also suggest research questions for the software engineering community to explore.

Roger Sessions - The Snowman Architectureiasaglobal
It is time for a Radical Transformation of IT. IT projects must be smaller, cheaper, and better aligned with the needs of the business. Simplicity must be a key design feature of every IT project. Projects must be delivered in months, not years. And in this new vision of a transformed IT, it is not IT's responsibility to tell the business what it can do, it is the business's responsibility to tell IT what it must do. Enterprise Architecture can be at the forefront of this vision, but only if it is revamped so that its purpose is no longer delivering useless paperwork, but facilitating high value IT projects. This transformation starts with a Snowman.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

3. Market Direction
“CIOs are experimenting successfully with internally and externally sourced capacity on demand. Within 10 years, they and their enterprises will be able to acquire complex outcomes—capabilities —on demand.This will dramatically change enterprise IT organizations and the software industry that serves them.”
http://www.gartner.com/id=1508715
4. Direction Change Takes Time
“Despite all this change, in the short term IT will be more or less stable. Many traditional IT roles, such as change and configuration management, will continue unaffected as the capability-on-demand scenario unfolds. Over time, however, service management, architecture and other “generalist” roles will replace the technical specialists in IT. Already under way, this change will become widespread over the next decade.”
http://www.gartner.com/id=1508715
5. Architect and Plan for Capability on Demand
“The first step in preparing for capability on demand is to set up for capacity on demand, but this can only occur after a CIO gets the IT house in order operationally. An IT organization that cannot manage operations effectively because it lacks understanding of costs relating to business performance and outcomes will have trouble evaluating the price-for-performance trade-offs offered by external suppliers.”
http://www.gartner.com/id=1508715
6. Architecture Is The Competitive Advantage
“Largely because of the trend toward externalization of capacity, almost all CIOs will find in the next decade that the price-for-performance competitiveness of IT organizations is directly comparable within and across industries. They will also find that achieving maximum competitiveness in IT price for performance requires strict adherence to standards and architecture, as well as tightly managed partnerships with external vendors.”
