as the organisers put it
A conference to encourage conversation between practitioners of agile software development and architecture. Let’s find new ways for modern organizations!
| title | author | length |
|---|---|---|
| Building Evolutionary Architectures: Principles and Practices | Rebecca Parsons | 42m |
Defines an evolutionary architecture as one that supports guided incremental change by encoding measurable fitness functions such as latency uptime or… | ||
| Architecture for Flow with Wardley Mapping, DDD, and Team Topologies | Susanne Kaiser | 43m |
Combines Wardley mapping to classify components (core/supporting/generic) with DDD bounded contexts—content creation, course/study, class management, learning… | ||
| Autonomy, is that what we really want? | Kenny Baas-Schwegler | 43m |
Argues autonomy is a fractal polarity that must be negotiated, not simply granted, and shows concrete tactics: use polarity map and collaborative modeling like… | ||
| Cognitive Biases and Agile Architecture | Birgitta Böckeler | 34m |
Wikipedia lists over 200 biases and software architecture repeatedly trips on confirmation bias, availability heuristic, base‑rate neglect and outcome bias… | ||
| Tell me why - About the purpose of architectural work | Uwe Friedrichsen | 35m |
Architectural work aims to minimize cumulative costs over a system’s lifetime while guaranteeing runtime correctness (examples: 99 requests <300ms, 99.9%… | ||
| Agile architects: classical conductors or band member? | Silvia Schreier | 30m |
Breuninger runs a team aligned ecommerce org with 15 development teams (3–8 FTE each) and splits roles into enterprise, domain, platform and software… | ||
| An Interdisciplinary View on Prototypes - Towards Executable Models That Can Be... | Bernhard Mayr | 40m |
Argues that executable statecharts become the single source of truth by generating visual diagrams from code and vice versa, and shows a working editor that… | ||
| Developing sustainable empathy systems | Sharon Steed | 43m |
Frames empathy as a learnable skill and a daily choice, defines three concrete behaviors — patience, perspective, connection — and gives a production case… | ||
| Minimal Viable Architecture | Randy Shoup | 39m |
Argues that architecture must match a product phase: idea → starting → scaling → optimizing, so teams begin with a simple modular monolith on cloud PaaS, use… | ||
| Agility and Architecture Together – Enabling a Fast Flow of Change | Randy Shoup | 48m |
Argues that combining agile practices with a decoupled, modular architecture produces a measurable fast flow of change: stream‑aligned teams owning service… | ||
| How Testability Supports Your Agility | Thomas Much | 44m |
Claim: teams with a blazingly fast automated test suite become more agile because they can deliver smaller batches more often. Concrete practice shown… | ||
| The lost art of software design | Simon Brown | 41m |
Argues that some upfront design is necessary to avoid costly refactors, recommends drafting a system context diagram and a container diagram (C4 model) as a… | ||
| How a Lean and Structured Team Topology amplifies an Organisation's Productivity | Rutuja Joshi | 35m |
A 15‑team product org maps every team type against desired architecture using Team Topologies and an inverse Conway approach, then runs small working groups… | ||
| Agility in Software Architecture | Joshua Kerievsky | 39m |
Argues agility is an adjective not a process and proves it with concrete moves: Branson sells a 39‑seat charter on cardboard; a feature fake shown to 100 users… | ||
| Heavyweight agile methods?!? Let’s make them Lean(er). | Falk Kühnel, Michael Mahlberg | 40m |
Argues that Lean provides concrete fixes for heavyweight Agile: explains pull as system property with WIP targets not personal choice, treats one-piece flow ≠… | ||
| What your mother never told you about agile development | Aino Vonge Corry | 42m |
Memo about agile reality: history from XP to Scrum shows practices alone fail without values and technical investment. Concrete claims: custom pair programming… | ||
| Quality versus Agility: a conflict of interest? | Edo Poll | 40m |
Argues that agility is itself a system quality and insists on making qualities explicit as quality metrics such as availability percentiles and MTTR, uses SEI… | ||
| Beyond "it depends" - How much architectural work do we need? | Uwe Friedrichsen | 41m |
Claim: organize architectural effort by the degree of decision uncertainty rather than a single method. The talk maps a spectrum from big design up front… | ||
| Panel | Patrick Kua, Rutuja Joshi, Susanne Kaiser, Dave Thomas | 01h 00m |
Panel surfaces concrete wins and hard lessons: use team topologies with Wardley mapping and bounded contexts to split systems, keep architecture decisions in… | ||
| How comic strips connect agile and architecture | Luxshan Ratnaravi | 44m |
Uses comic strips to expose where agile transformations and architecture fail and how to fix them, backed by a 50,000-follower project and a published book… | ||
| Add security to architecture one step at a time | Warren Parad | 37m |
Starts with concrete building blocks: ask who uses the data and whether it’s regulated, add TLS certificates for encryption in transit, use a managed identity… | ||
| Organising and Governing Evolutionary Architectures (Fitness Functions) | Patrick Kua | 41m |
Explains how to govern evolutionary architectures by turning goals into measurable fitness functions and automating them. Shows Netflix’s Chaos Monkey/Simian… | ||
| Good Fences Make Good Neighbours | Trond Hjorteland | 43m |
Claim: modularity fails because teams and code are treated as purely technical; treating design as a social-technical systems problem raises success odds. Uses… | ||
| Architecture and Organization | Kevin Goldsmith | 41m |
Examples from Avvo, Spotify, Adobe and Microsoft show organizational shape driving software and vice versa, with concrete outcomes: a monolith causing… | ||
