Presentation

Agile Enterprise Architecture

Some enterprise architecture (EA) practices suffer from monolithic processes that deliver abstract, conceptual strategy that doesn’t deliver business value. Traditional EA practices can be augmented with agile project management and development best practices from approaches like Scrum and OpenUP. The speaker will discuss how to link enterprise architecture to business strategy, incorporate iterative planning, and apply test-driven development. An agile EA practice delivers a flexible enterprise architecture that allows the business to adapt to changes in the market and technology.
