Abstract

Below are five pieces of advice that architects can use to become effective in an agile world, without having to implement a new method or framework. They describe changes in attitude or behavior rather than complete practices or principles, and so are easy to digest and apply. The ideas are based on a solution architecting approach called Risk- and Cost-Driven Architecture. Core to the approach is the use of risk and cost to determine the architectural significance of concerns. Agility is achieved by keeping the architecture light-weight, addressing only those concerns that are especially risky or costly to address. A risk- and cost-driven backlog of architectural concerns balances the generally value-driven product backlog to achieve “just enough anticipation” in the evolution of software solutions.
