Agile Software Architecture
This course will explore the theory that underpins agile architecture and throw it into sharp relief using a series of practical exercises and animated discussions. We’ll cover many thorny topics, including:
What diagrams to draw (lines and boxes)?
When is design actually architecture (or vice versa)?
How much architecture is enough (and when it should be done)?
Should an architect write code (or developers do architecture)?
The detailed course outline is currently (subject to change):
- Introduction
- Discussion: what is architecture
- Tutorial: The C4 diagrams
- Group work: Create me an architecture
- Discussion: Validating an architecture
- Tutorial: Risk and its role in architecture & design
- Diversion: How much architecture?
- Group work: Designing a walking skeleton
- Discussion: Testing the architecture
- Tutorial: On the RACK – Requirements, automation, collaboration and knowledge
- Group work: Create me an architecture (the sequel)
- Diversion: What does this tell me?
- Tutorial: Architects and the ivory tower
- Wrap up
Target Audience
Developers, architects, designers, team leads, testers –
in fact anyone with a technical role in software delivery
