Description

Agile has always challenged people with the age old question - how much to design upfront? But is the confusion just there? Frankly, it doesn't even start there! Anyone understands the need of an architect, but how do we position an Architect within an Agile environment? How does Enterprise Architects work in sync with a Solution Architect? How should business leverage the niche skills of an architect to ensure the scalability of the application? And how are the architects coping with the changing dynamics of development methodology? How does this practice work in an onshore-offshore environment? We take a look in to the current challenges & answer to all the above questions. We try to ensure that Agile delivery makes the best use of architects and architects don't shy away from Agile world.

Presentation

(1) We learn how to best position architects in an Agile project (2) We will understand how architecture is shaped up in a large, distributed Agile program (3) Also, intention is to put a clear picture to Architects - who are planning to work on Agile projects, as how they can plan to drive their work (& what to expect)
