So where is the place for architecture on an agile project? Some think that software architecture should simply emerge and doesn’t require ongoing attention. But it isn’t always prudent to let the architecture emerge at the speed of the next iteration. Complex software systems cam have lots of moving parts\, depe ndencies\, challenges\, and unknowns. Counting on a good architecture to spontaneously emerge without any architectural investigation can be ris ky. So how should architecting be done on agile projects? It varies from project to project\, depending on risk\, complexity\, and size. This ta lk presents some useful practices for architecting on both smaller and l arger agile projects and explores what it means to be an agile architect . \;\n \;\nBio: \;\n \;\nRebecca Wirfs-Brock is an internat ionally recognized leader in the development of object design methodolog ies. Although best known as a software design guru and creator of Respon sibility-Driven Design and the x-driven meme\, Rebecca is also an innova tor of techniques for simply expressing complex requirements and effecti vely designing and communicating software architecture. She is active in the agile community\, and is currently President of the non-profit Agil e Open Northwest openspace conference and co-producer of the Agile 2012 Insights (experience reports) Stage. She champions bringing the right ba lance of design and architecture into agile projects and frequently help s product engineering\, IT\, and startups with the technical bits\, as w ell as with effective teamwork and agile design and architecture practic es. Her passion is software design habitability. You've got to be able t o live comfortably with your code. \;\n \;\nA Special Treat from P NSQC \;\n \;\nPlan on coming early! In collaboration with the Paci fic Northwest Software Quality Conference (PNSQC) the SPIN meeting will have pizza and pop provided by PNSQC beginning at 5:30 pm. \;\n \; \nPNSQC is the Pacific Northwest Software Quality Conference\, a group o f volunteers interested in Software Quality. The Mission of the PNSQC is to enable knowledge exchange to produce higher quality software. As a n on-profit\, it seeks to promote software quality by providing education and opportunities for information exchange within the software community . \;\n \;\nThanks also to OTBC \;\n \;\nWe want to thank OT BC (http://www.otbc.org/) for providing the space for this talk \;\n& #13\;\nHow to Register \;\n \;\nNo need to register!
