Does agile development need architecture?
Does architecture need agile development?

Agilists and architects debate these questions time and again, without always reaching a meaningful conclusion. People seem to be quite happy to debate conflicting points of view without agreeing on common terms. At this Fish Bowl we will thus discuss the significance of architecture and what it means in a development lifecycle, how it relates to developers, and what it means for the system lifecycle costs.
Actually, agility and “good” architecture have more in common than it commonly appears!

Target Audience: Architects, Developers, Project Leaders
Prerequisites: Experience in agile development
Level: Practicing
Lessons learned: An understanding how agile development and architecture mutually support one another

Fish Bowl moderators: Frank Bushmann & Kevlin Henney
