How do you ensure that your architecture is kept up-to-date and actively used when working with Agile/SCRUM teams or in a SAFe organized company? And how do you break through the demand-supply culture between business and ICT (which is crucial for being "agile")?
What we did this evening...
During our CoP Architecture NL evening on "Agile & Architecture", we shared knowledge and discussed our experiences on the role of the architect and his/her work in an Agile context.
Our colleague Ben Kooistra gave us an excellent introduction in Agile/SCRUM/SAFe and the position & work of the architect. He also teaches the Capgemini Academy "
Architecture in Agile context - Practitioner training".
In our CoP Architecture NL we did a brief study on the experiences of our architect colleagues who work for clients who work to a greater or lesser extent according to Agile / SAFe. This evening we shared and discussed the results with the attendees. It seems that our findings are broadly supported.
The CJIB (Centraal Justitieel Incassobureau) also shared their Agile & Architecture experiences with us. A lot has been achieved there but (also) there is still a lot to do.
During a forum discussion in which I was one of the panel members, we had the opportunity of discussing questions and standpoints with the audience. Lively discussions, and lots of inspiration!
This will certainly have a follow-up, we are actually already thinking of an ongoing discussion within the
Wednesday Evening Training.
Thanks Ben Kooistra for sharing your knowledge with us! Thanks to Birgitte Starrenburg, Dennis Hermsdorf, Martin Brommer, Mirko van der Maat for the organization and contribution!
