Description

How to accomplish effective architecture work in agile teams and projects

Integrate agile principles into your architecture work. Create a dynamic architecture that develops in an evolutionary way and strengthens team collaboration.

Architectures are increasingly developed in autonomous teams, and the technical, conceptual responsibility is more widely spread in modern organizations. Architectural concepts must dynamically adjust to the situations, and technological change should take place continuously and incrementally – in other words evolutionarily. New skills are therefore demanded of developers and architects encompassing not only technical but also methodological and communicative aspects.

Participants use Lego bricks to complete a team task

Experience in this training course how agile principles and ideas can be transferred to architectural work and how you can logically and efficiently enshrine architectural practices into agile approaches.

Agenda
