Software architecture emerged in the 1990s, and has been evolving ever since, from a directive, up-front activity, where a single architect created the architecture, which was then implemented by others, to today’s team based adaptive architectural approaches where architecture is a shared activity owned by the entire team. In this talk we’ll explore the Continuous Architecture approach, which aims to deliver architecture as a “shared commons” to support the Agile+DevOps ways-of-working needed for success in the digital age.
