ITARC Denver 2010 Conference

I will be speaking at the upcoming ITARC conference in Denver. The title of my presentation is "Agile Architect: Integrating Enterprise Architecture into Agile and Lean Software Development".

In the presentation, I will discuss the details of an Agile Architecture framework we introduced in our projects to make Enterprise Architecture efforts an integral part of the software development and management processes. The discussion includes the changes we had to make in terms of Teams, Process, and Tools & Technologies. I will talk about the process changes we made to include new steps like Architecture and SOA Assessments in those projects that have the architecture significance and potential for creating reusable Components and Services.

I will also discuss other techniques to make architecture and design aspects blend with the Development, Unit Testing and Continuous Integration (CI) steps in the Agile Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC). These techniques include Domain-Driven Design (DDD), Model Driven Software Development (MDSD), and Automated Policy Enforcement.
