1. Architecture and Agile

2. Agile presents a challenge to architecture
Agile allows constant refactoring
Agile does not have a requirements phase and does not believe complete requirements ever exist
The authors argue architecture is still good
But need to decide how much architecture is needed
After all they are invested in Architecture!

3. How much architecture? Some projects may not need much architecture
Infrastructure and architecture may be determined
Just adding an application is a standard approach
Some may fail without a good architectural analysis
Some companies require an architectural review!

4. Attributes Understand the required attributes
May determine the need for up front architecture
YAGNI – evaluate the needs!

5. Summary Do what works and what needs to be done!
Evaluate how much architecture do you need
I recommend always think about attributes up front!
