This is changing the discipline of architecture. In large development projects, communication and ad hoc decisions are more difficult. How can agile architecture work be done effectively in this context? The sixth edition of our architecture cheat sheet summarizes the most important aspects.
The ADES Framework is a learning framework targeted at agile organizations. It ties together technical and organizational aspects and defines six "learning sectors". Agile organizations need to continuously improve and work on these sectors to achieve the goal of sustainable agile practice.
