An agile framework can work in the enterprise by coordinating, managing, and automating processes, architecture, artifacts, and legacy viewpoints. This allows for narrow development focuses like Scrum to scale across an organization. The framework addresses issues like increasing technical debt, lack of enterprise architecture, and complexity reducing agility. It promotes continuous modernization through automated knowledge discovery and refactoring to reduce debt and maintain architectural runway.

and automates process, architecture, artifacts and
legacy viewpoints.

Agile, Iterative Delivery doesn’t mean throw away the script!
Let’s just stop and consider where the enterprise is today. More enterprises are facing a period of great change, frequently driven by the fast emerging digital business and innovation economy. And many enterprises are deeply immersed in making the change from the industrial economy where highly structured business processes are the dominant model, to the innovation economy, where flexibility, customization, content, choice, differentiated, added value are key requirements in a world where resources are at least equally important as physical assets.
Yet the reality is that for many enterprises large programs are high risk. Outsourcing doesn’t necessarily deliver flexibility, in fact it can reduce agility and skills. Agile projects are frequently successful in a narrow focus arena, but do not scale to the enterprise resulting in duplication of capability and inconsistent customer experience.
Similarly EA has not been uniformly successful and closely related SOA and platform initiatives, still seen as essential enablers of strategic business goals, become compromised by project specific requirements. As a consequence high levels of business and IT capability duplication proliferate and legacy applications remain as major inhibitors to business agility.
Our architecture deliverables structure looks something like this, with each deliverable defined by the underlying meta model and reporting formats. The three basic project patterns clearly require architecture activity to be undertaken at different stages of a project. Just because a project is labelled Agile, doesn’t mean that there is less structure to the project overall, and particularly architecture activity. In fact in most Agile projects there needs to be greater clarity and precision of structure to allow for better metrics, automation and management.
