Agility and Architecture: Can They Coexist?
March 22nd, 2010Many agile proponents give software architecture a bad rap: big design up front, massive documentation, the smell of waterfall, and so on. Architecture seems nonagile. Is agile architecture a paradox? An oxymoron? Two totally incompatible approaches? The real issues, past the rhetoric and posturing, suggest that the two cultures can sometimes coexist and support each other.
