An overview of how disciplined agile teams address architecture and design. This includes initial agile architecture modeling, proving the architecture early in the project, test-driven development, architecture spikes, architecture handbooks, and many more. Architecture and design are so important to disciplined agile teams that we consider these issues every day. Your approach to architecture is a key enabler of agility at scale.

- 4. Common Myths Surrounding Agile Architecture 1. Agilists don’t “do architecture” 2. Agilists start coding right away 3. Agilists don’t follow enterprise architecture strategies 4. Agilists don’t model 5. Agilists don’t document © Scott Ambler + Associates 4
- 5. Realities of Agile Architecture 1. Architecture is so important agilists address it throughout the entire lifecycle 2. Disciplined agilists invest in some up front envisioning 3. Discipline agilists work closely with enterprise professionals 4. Disciplined agilists explicitly model in a lightweight manner throughout the lifecycle 5.

- 7. DAD Role: Architecture Owner • Guides the creation and evolution of the solution’s architecture • Mentors and coaches team members in architecture practices and issues • Understands the architectural direction and standards of your organization and ensures that the team adheres to them • Ensures the system will be easy to support by encouraging appropriate design and refactoring • Ensures that the system is integrated and tested frequently • Has the final decision regarding technical decisions, but doesn’t dictate them • Leads the initial architecture envisioning effort 7 © Scott Ambler + Associates
- 8. DAD Teams Are Enterprise Aware • DAD teams strive to leverage and enhance the existing organizational eco system wherever possible • Implications for architecture and design: – Work with enterprise architects – Follow existing roadmap(s) where appropriate – Leverage existing assets – Enhance existing assets © Scott Ambler + Associates 8

- Challenges for an Architecture OwnerTraditional architects who don’t make the transition to agileArchitecture owners also codeSmart techie without technical leadership skillsThe architecture owner should not also be the product ownerNeglecting enterprise assets in favor of building your ownDictating architecture vs. “self-organizing design”Architecture gold-plating
- Identify how much modeling you need to doGet the right people involvedChoose the right level of formalityOne initial strategy or several?Formal vs. informal modeling sessionsSingle vs. multiple candidate architectures

- Source: http://www.agilemodeling.com/essays/amdd.htmFirst, let’s start with how to read the diagram. Each box represents a development activity. The envisioning includes two main sub-activities, initial requirements envisioning and initial architecture envisioning. These are done during iteration 0, iteration being another term for cycle or sprint. “Iteration 0” is a common term for the periodbefore you start into development iterations, which are iterations one and beyond (for that release). The other activities – iteration modeling, model storming, reviews, and implementation – potentially occur during any iteration, including Inception. The time indicated in each box represents the length of an average session: perhaps you’ll model for a few minutes then code for several hours.
