SAFe: Get on the (agile) train
For those of you who read this blog since I started it, you probably know that I am a huge proponent of architecture and design in software development. I am also convinced that agile methodologies help us build better products. A framework like Scrum is very good for managing software projects but it may not provide enough information for less experienced agile teams, or teams working in a complex environment (multiple Scrum teams, programs, agile initiatives at the enterprise level). And architecture and design are not really first... [More]

Design on a diet for agile teams
Earlier this month, Dan Leroux and I delivered a session at the Innovate 2013 conference. Our objective was to cover two different aspects: How architecture & design fits in an agile environment (such as a team using Scrum) How one team in the IBM lab is applying light design principles to develop a product Back from Orlando, I created a prezi with some of the information that we presented during the conference .( Click the image to launch the presentation )

Scrum or Maul: what is the best approach for agile teams?
No, Maul is not a new framework for agile practitioners. Read a bit further and you will understand what I mean here. It may ever been easier for you if you have some knowledge about rugby (rugby is not a web framework, it is a sport!). After all, the Scrum framework took its name from the game of rugby. As defined by the International Rugby Boad (IRB), “a scrum is formed in the field of play when eight players from each team, bound together in three rows for each team, close up with their opponents so that the heads of the...

Agile Development: Three Pillars of Success
On January 22, I co-presented an InformationWeek webcast with Vishy Ramaswamy. the architect of the Design Management Server. The webcast was mostly an informal discussion where Vishy and I shared our opinions on four different topics. What is Agile Architecture and what is the difference between this approach and conventional design and development practices? What is a recommended practice for just enough traceability across the life cycle? What are the kind of architectural and design expressions suitable for "just enough"... [More]

The three pillars of Pragmatic architecture
Yesterday, I was co-presenting an InformationWeek webcast on Agile Development: Three Pillars of Success . With Vishy Ramaswamy , the lead architect for Design Manager, we talked about some agile architecture practices and how these practices were adopted by the IBM development team to create and deliver the Design Manager product. During the Q&A session, there was a question that we saw a question that we did not answer (lack of time, too many good questions). It was something like: “What should we pay attention to when we try to adopt... [More]
