Role (not Title) of an Architect in an Agile Team
Tuesday, 10:30 AM EST - SUNSET SALON
A number of agile teams expect their technical staff to be cross functional and carry multiple responsibilities. In general that is good, however, there's still a significant role for an architect.
In this presentation we'll quickly discuss the consequences of not having someone at that role and move forward to discuss the benefits of having such a person. We will then discuss the responsibilities they should carry and how they can effectively hone their skills to serve in this critical role.
