Agile Architecture: Enabling Innovation in a Rapidly Changing World
summary
Argues architecture must produce money in the bank by delivering visible value every quarter — concrete examples: a new tracing library, deployment pipeline, modern data platform or streaming pipeline that shows ROI fast. Prescribes writing six-pagers and PRFAQs to nail the why, using influence channels called conduction/convection/radiation to win adopters, and applying a fixed flexible free standard (e.g., single crypto lib for FedRAMP, or 1–3 approved tracing options). Emphasizes iterative delivery, quarterly feedback loops, and making champions to scale adoption across large orgs.
