SESSION SUMMARY

This presentation will lay out an approach for applying agile principles to the practice of Data Architecture including case studies from multiple settings where the approach has been successfully applied.

Couched in the principles set forth in the Agile Manifesto, adapted for Data Architecture, this presentation identifies how to consistently produce business-driven results. It begins by identifying the elements required to set the stage for success, looks at how to quickly set the baseline for business information concepts, and identifies how to integrate the information enlightenment gained in this approach with traditional, agile and package deployment development efforts. The presentation will follow this framework:

  •  Gather
  •  Identify the business drivers and support
  •  Plan business, information & systems architecture
  •  Evolve
  •  Codify future vision & legacy
  •  Architect bridge from the past to the future
  •  Consume
  •  Launch capability development with carry-forward artifacts
  •  Reuse, refine & redeploy

This presentation will lay out the strategy supported by case studies from multiple industries identifying what worked, what didn’t and what options should be considered when applying it in diverse settings. In keeping with the agile mindset, the presentation will be interactive, encouraging engagement from audience members.
