Overview

1 day.

This one-day seminar introduces you to the techniques and tips to build agile architectures. This spans not only design tips, but also related agile method practices. You will learn a set of lightweight analysis tools to better understand the domain, the constraints, and variation points. You will learn simple collaborative techniques to help align the business goals of product management with the architectural goals. We will explore the concept of “pull design” in software development, and design principles that enhance agility at an architectural level. You will leave with an understanding of the major techniques and guidelines for agile architectures, and pointers to useful learning aids to quicken your journey.

Methods of Education

Discussion, presentation, Q&A

Audience

Developers, architects, technical leaders.

Level

Advanced: While this session is lecture-oriented, it relies heavily on attendees previous experience and knowledge to anchor the concepts.

Prerequisites

experience in building systems

Objectives

Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:

apply lightweight domain and architectural analysis
describe dozens of design and agile methods tips for developing an agile architecture
facilitate design workshops
work with product management to align business and architectural goals
facilitate the creation of “agile architectural documentation”

Outline

Pull design: principles and examples
Agile process tips for an agile architecture
Agile SAD workshops: technical memos and N+1 sketch-views
Lightweight domain modeling and architectural analysis
Release and iteration planning with product management
Tiger teams and master programmers
Architects as teachers
Architectural CoPs
HAL and simulation layers
Understanding the “m-architecture”
