“EA without governance isn’t agile. It’s adrift.” I agree, but equally governance doesn’t have to be something which just introduces friction. Continuous governance through ADRs, not traditional cycles through ARB, and automation for easy passage through defined tollgates linked to NFRs (security and resilience in particular) will help to show how EA delivers true value for tech. We should do the same for process and data.
"Lightweight and agile" isn’t an excuse to do less. If your architecture doesn’t deliver value, no one’s going to miss it when it’s gone
Exactly. And the same applies to agile software development :)
Right,“agile” still has to carry weight. Lightweight ≠ disposable. Curious how you see this play out in enterprise environments?
