Agile architecture methodology

Abstract

Tactical agile development and strategic architectural evolution are viewed as opposite ends of the development spectrum, with the long-term value of applying an architecture-centric approach seemingly at odds with rapid development, featuring its informal documentation activities. The value of a long-term vision, or ar-chitecture, is particularly high in the context of product integra-tion and research. However, there is also benefit in rapid and early feedback on incremental deliverables, as featured in agile development.
