Abstract: This workshop is based on my personal flavor of Ted Neward's
Architectural Katas, with adds a focus on iterative design and use my
Architectural Tarot deck and its use as a communication device to support it.
We run a short simulation on the development of an agile product:
In each of three 15 minutes iterations:
- Each iteration is about a product release
- Participants use the Tarot deck to discuss Quality Attributes trade-off, and then draw a quick High Level Solution diagram for this release
- As a Facilitator, I go around and review their solutions, telling them (invented) consequences after the release which affect the product plans (specially architectural challenges)
Learning Outcomes: - - Taking architectural decisions at the Last Responsible Moment
- - Leverage this to stay flexible
- - Importance of automatic validation (a hint of)
- - The need to have these debates in the open between business people and teams, and away for Ivory Tower Architects
