Agile Software Architect

Agile software development approaches have had significant impact on industrial software development practices. Today, agile software development has penetrated to most IT companies across the globe, with an intention to increase quality, productivity, and profitability. Comprehensive knowledge is needed to understand the architectural challenges involved in adopting and using agile approaches and industrial practices to deal with the development of large, architecturally challenging systems in an agile way.

Agile Software Architect focusses on gaps in the requirements of applying architecture-centric approaches and principles of agile software development, and demystfies the agile architecture paradox. Readers will learn how agile and architectural cultures can co-exist and support each other according to the context. Moreover, this book will also provide useful leads for future research in both architecture and agile in order to bridge such gaps by developing appropriate approaches, that incorporate architecturally sound practices in agile methods.
