March Meeting
The next Agile Edmonton user group meeting will be on Wednesday, March 4th at noon.
“Agile Enterprise Architecture”
This may sound like an oxymoron but in this presentation I will show that it is not. At the same time I will challenge the traditional roles and definitions of “Architecture”, “Architect”, and “Enterprise”. I believe that architecture is a key requirement of any organization or project, regardless of the size and scope. I also believe that architecture should never be onerous or be an impediment to progress. The presentation will outline how architecture can be done in an agile way, will support agile development, but it will also expand the consciousness of agile beyond the project into an enterprise way of thinking.
