HOW TO COMBINE AGILE AND ARCHITECTURE FOR TRUE BUSINESS AGILITY?

In this session we will look into how to aid Agile practices with Enterprise Architecture in order to increase an organisation's Business Agility. As organisations worldwide are maturing their Agile capabilities, it becomes more and more obvious that Agile methods based on existing and still emerging Agile frameworks are not a "holy grail one-size-fits-all" solution miraculously addressing all kinds of an organisation's challenges. In this session we will discuss how can Enterprise Architecture discipline help companies on the Agile journey navigate the ever-changing business and technology landscape.
