The work on our software systems is becoming increasingly complex. In particular, the explicit design and communication of the software architecture are crucial for designing flexible, maintainable and scalable systems. Together we will look at various tried-and-tested practices to make architecture work more dynamic and to integrate architecture design into projects using agile approaches efficiently.

We will discuss ideas for basic architecture work (e.g. visualizing architecture requirements in the form of scenarios and technical debt), making decisions (e.g. last reasonable moment and just enough architecture ahead), collaboration and interaction (e.g. architecture communities and katas), and reflection (testing architecture goals). You can easily transfer these process patterns and best practices to your projects.
