Course #:WA2469 Introduction to Agile Architecture Training 05/03/2021 - 05/04/2021 USD$1,395.00 Instructor Led Virtual 05/25/2021 - 05/26/2021 USD$1,395.00 Instructor Led Virtual 06/01/2021 - 06/02/2021 USD$1,395.00 Instructor Led Virtual 06/21/2021 - 06/22/2021 USD$1,395.00 Instructor Led Virtual 06/28/2021 - 06/29/2021 USD$1,395.00 Instructor Led Virtual 08/16/2021 - 08/17/2021 USD$1,395.00 Instructor Led Virtual This course examines the relationship between the Agile methodology and the practice of Architecture. It is a mixture of lectures and exercises. The lectures provide instruction on the concepts and open up meaningful discussions; the exercises have students work through a case study to help deepen their knowledge. The course begins with defining what the Agile methodology and the practice of Architecture are and continues by looking at their strengths and weakness. An apparent dichotomy exists, and an exploration of industry practices demonstrate possible ways to resolve the conflict. The course ends by looking at how the best of both may be achievable. Objectives At the end of the training, practitioners will be able to: describe the Agile methodology and its relationship to and need for Architecture understand the inherent challenges of Agile and Architecture discuss the ways in which the industry has been connecting Architecture and Agile consider ways in which Architecture can support an Agile environment Audience Architects, Software Development Team Leads, Technical leads, Agile team members, Managers Prerequisites None Duration 2 Days Outline of Introduction to Agile Architecture Training Chapter 1. Enterprise Architecture (EA) Primer Architecture Architects Enterprise Architecture Definitions IEEE, TOGAF, & MIT Perspectives Enterprise Architecture Defined Architecture Framework: Foundation for a Common Vocabulary Industry EA Frameworks Dimensions of Architecture Scope Architecture Domains More Architecture Domains Time: Baseline, Target, and Transition Architectures Various Solution Architecture Definitions Characteristics of a Solution Architecture Example Solution Architecture: SOA for Insurance Solution Architecture Context Solution Architecture & Domains SA Spans All Domains Relationship to EA Architecture Development Process Solution Architecture Solution Architecture Deliverables EA Involvement in SA Architecturally Significant Summary Chapter 2. Challenges with Traditional Architecture The Need for Senior Management Support Business People Underestimate the Complexity Role Clarity Governance Variables Outside Architecture's Control Analysis Paralysis Architecture Dismissed by Agile Teams Scarce Resources The Challenge of Alignment Rogue IT There's No ROI in Infrastructure Summary Chapter 3.

The Agile-Architecture Conflict The Two Perspectives Class Discussion Summary Chapter 6. How Architecture Fits in with Agile Common Ground Building High Quality Systems Solutions of Value Rapid Delivery Maintaining Systems Reliability Design Reuse Discipline Measurement The Core Differences How is Agile Even Possible? Open Source Code Control and Versioning Test Driven Development (TDD) Continuous Delivery Automation Stack Overflow Twitter and GitHub What Does Architecture Produce That an Agile Team Needs? What Should Architecture Provide to an Agile Team? Summary Chapter 7.

Is There Agile Architecture? What is Agile Architecture: Definition 1 Agile Architecture: Definition 2 Which Definition is Correct? What is the Problem We're Trying to Solve Again? Prioritization Integration What About How the Environment Has Changed? So What to Do? Can Architecture Be Sprinted?
