Agile Architecture is a set of values and practices that support the evolution of the design and architecture of a system while designing and adding new capabilities. This enables architecture of a system (even a large solution) to evolve over time, while at the same time supporting the needs of active users. It eliminates the overhead and delays associated with the stop and go nature and redesign inherent in phase-gate methods. With this architecture, the system always runs, supporting more continuous improvements.

1:30pm-2:30pm: The Human Side of Agile at Scale – Practical Considerations For Transforming Your Organization 

 

Rebecca Porterfield, Agile Coach, Donnelley Financial Solutions

 

Backlogs, sprints and velocity – check. Automated testing and CI/CD – check. Product Increments and Release Trains – check. But what else is missing? Learn about “behind the scenes” people considerations that can make or break an agile transformation:

  • Co-located teams! – What if our organization is highly geographically distributed?
  • Self-organizing teams! – What happens to the managers?
  • …of craftsmen!? – How do we even hire for this?
  • Can we really get rid of timesheets?

 

Also, learn the one word that has the power to transform a corporate culture.
