Talk “Evolutionary Architecture”

Software architecture is the element of a software which is usually

decided on at the very beginning of a project. The later in the

project development process, the more risky and costly changes to the

project’s architecture are.

But sometimes these changes are inevitable. Sometimes the architecture has obvious issues. Sometimes requirements for the system change so much during the project life,

that the original architecture cannot support them any longer.

Pawel will talk about the ways to cope with such situations. He will describe how the evolution of architecture is handled in projects in which agile techniques are in use. He will point to ways to design applications in such a way that its business logic is not bound to the architecture, so that not only evolution of the architecture is enabled, but even promoted.
