About the program
Communicating architecture in an agile environment
Description
One of the agile tenants is “Working software over comprehensive documentation.” If this tenant is followed in the development process, agile architects should not deliver comprehensive documentation to the dev team, but should do something else. That something else can include working software, illustration of concepts via Legos, quick whiteboard diagrams, or any number of other things.
Please come listen to and participate in a discussion of how to best communicate architecture in an agile environment. Bring your stories of what worked and what didn’t, so that we can all learn.

Coordinating Multiple Teams
Description
The topic of our October meeting will be “Coordinating multiple teams”. Quite often, in the world of an Agile Architect, we are faced with having multiple teams in need of architectural services. How do we keep them all on the same page? Some would argue that it’s not even in the scope of architecture. But, does that thought keep the architectural vision in consideration?
These are but a few of the thoughts that we can discuss in this session. Please bring your stories and experiences of working with multiple teams. What were your challenges? What were your responsibilities? What worked for you?

About the program
What is an Agile Architect
Description
At this month’s session, we will try to answer the question of “What is an Agile Architect?” by sharing stories and experiences that each of us has had with architecture in an agile environment. Everyone is encouraged to share their stories, what works for you, what hasn’t worked for you, and any thoughts you have about agility and architecture. This should fuel a great discussion that will allow each of us to take away a great perspective on what the community is doing to include architecture into agile processes.
