From Guardian to Catalyst: Reinventing Enterprise Architecture in the Agile Era
summary
How enterprise architecture at RATP shifted from a gatekeeping role to a facilitating one to support agile teams. The talk describes replacing approval committees with collaborative workshops, using documented Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) instead of long specs, and giving teams guided options (with impacts) rather than vetoes, showing tools and practices used by RATP’s Fabrique Digitale to make architecture an enabler of agility and clearer decision-making.
