Скачать или смотреть Enterprise Architecture in an Agile World

Speaker: Mats Gejnevall
Abstract: There is an ongoing demand for the size and timescale of architectures to become ever shorter. This in turn is resulting in a tendency for enterprises to skip the development of architectures, which in turn is resulting in some high-profile IT failures because of the unanticipated consequences of what appeared to be minor changes. Enterprise Architecture recognizes the need to recursively break down the architecture into more granular levels that can be architected following an Agile approach. Partitioning the architecture work is key for Agile delivery and implies the definition of creating increments based on the enterprise priorities. These smaller pieces, that cover a specific area of the organization, can then be more easily specified and implemented following an agile approach. Enterprises have adapted the agile concepts for the business development for the same reasons and are evolving their business in increments. That has to match with creating architectures and solutions in agile ways. Since the American Department of Defense (DoD) is allowing agile acquisition of solutions, there is a need to ensure that these solutions will deliver the value that is expected. Enterprise Architecture will be one of the important building blocks in that process.
