About this course
WHAT DOES AGILE MEAN FOR ARCHITECTS AND DESIGNERS? AGILE IS NOT ABOUT DOING A BIG DESIGN UP-FRONT, BUT NEITHER IS IT ABOUT DOING NO DESIGN UP-FRONT.
While we defer design decisions that don’t need to be made early, there are other aspects of the systems that need to be established early. This course examines the values, principles and philosophy behind Agile architecture and design and looks at the technical leadership role needed through all phases of an Agile project. You’ll gain an applied understanding of the Agile approach to enterprise architecture, domain architecture and application architecture. This program addresses the Agile design principles and the role of the Architect and covers the principles of good architectures and design - continuous integration, delivery, deployment and DevOps.
