Architecture in an Agile World (or maybe it's the other way around)
There often seems to be a tension that surfaces between the process (that which guides us) and the execution (that which we do). Agility and architecture also play out in this same way, and it can be a very destructive. Yet, each side needs the other to exist. The architecture that you create depends on your attitude, perception and degree of agility. From the other end, you can reach varying degrees of agility, depending on your attitude, perception and knowledge of the problem and it's architectural solution. In this session, we will turn this tension into a powerful force that you can use to achieve a balance between keeping the problem and it's solution under control.
