Webinar on Agile Architects and Agile Architecture By EITAGlobal

Overview : The webinar will explore the importance of a well-understood, clear and unifying vision, and then how agile concepts apply to an enterprise or solution architecture and how to create agile models of the solution landscape and data architecture. The final section of the webinar deals with developing an architecture which is itself "agile", truly able to support and embrace change. Reviewing the multiple "dimensions of agility" will lead into discussion of techniques such as progressive enhancement, canonical data models, data and dataflow re-use, change isolation, rationalization and architecture refactoring. The importance of key design principles and a unifying vision will be explained. 

This section will be based around a case study, the development and evolution of an agile integration architecture. This is the history of an enterprise-scale integration architecture which has flexibly supported over ten years of major developments at a leading UK utility company. 
A round up will recap on the main points, and then present some questions challenging the attendees to assess for themselves "How Agile is Your Architecture?"
