Defining an Agile Software Architecture

What We’ll Explore

What is an Agile software architecture? How do architectural considerations relate to both the technical and non-technical aspects of software development?

The Agile Manifesto begins by saying, “We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it.” In this session with speaker Harold Shinsato, we’ll explore this critical aspect of software development by encouraging all to share observations, insights, and experiences.

Session Structure

We’ll begin our facilitated conversation with an overview of architecture and software architecture basics, and then review what has already been covered about this topic within and around the Agile community. Topics will range from DesigIn Patterns, SOLID principles, emergent design, and “screaming” architectures, to dev-ops concepts, microservices trends, and even a glimpse at Kent Beck’s upcoming “Tidy First” book.

We’ll end with some big questions based on experience with architects, both as a front-line developer and as someone working with and coaching experienced architects in large organizations.

What are Agile Tech Talks?

Formerly known as deliver:Agile Live!, Agile Tech Talks are monthly virtual sessions that explore technical topics and focus on how to support Agile practitioners and grow good Agile engineering practices. We’re keeping the spirit of the deliver:Agile conference and turning it into an ongoing series of talks and workshops throughout the year. This series is FREE for Agile Alliance members.
