DESCRIPTION
What do architects do in an agile environment, at scale? Architects as leaders “need to instill agile values throughout the entire enterprise” is a quote from the Harvard Business Review article Agile at Scale.
Architecture&Agile@Scale deals with issues organizations have in finding the flows of value. Agility at scale permeates areas of the business that were untouched by team-based agile practices – business strategy, portfolio management, budgeting, procurement, innovation, enterprise demand management. In addition as practices emerge on the delivery side e.g. DevOps. SAFe, DAD, Nexus, SOS have emerged as organizations grapple with scaling agile.
Architects are challenged to understand their role in the context of agile and agile at scale. The initial backlash from agile suggested that architects were unnecessary, however, in large complex environments organizations struggled to manage the overall architecture and roadmap. Architecture&Agile@Scale seeks to define the role an architect plays in any scaled agile environment.
