My LAC-2011 presentation Scrum under Architecture is now available on speakerdeck.

Since it contains mainly images, some notes might be useful:

• Scrum isn’t something by software developers, for software developers
• Scrum is a tool enabling management of product development by product managers
• There are two types of projects: those implementing known solutions, and those looking for a solution for a problem
• You can manage the first type of projects in the traditional way: requirements, time, resources are known and minimal change should be managed
• The second type cannot be managed this way: you don’t know what the best solution will look like
• Agile project management is about getting the best solution within available time and resources
• Many companies struggle to scale agile: how to you go beyond one team?
• Architecture enables you to scale agile
• Agile Architecture is not just about doing short iterative architecture
• Agile Architecture should enable you to work with small independent customers focussed teams
• This needs to be enabled by technical architecture but also by organisational architecture
