Abstract

When the Agile software development became popular in software development communities, some engineers thought that software architecture would die out. But no matter what, a software project will have an architecture, whether documented intentionally or created on the fly. Software Architecture should enable Agile development methods by itself being Agile. But how? In this paper, I will discuss my experience of doing architecture in an Agile way and in a non-Agile way. Have an architecture that follows the Agile principles is key to obtaining success in an Agile development environment.
