Oftentimes, I receive queries about agile development and architecture.  In fact, all development has an architecture that is either explicit or implicit- you should favour explicit architecture so you know what you are getting!  Architecture can be agile- as the project progresses models are refined and the work products are built over time.  In particular, the architect is deeply involved at the prototyping stage as it is a communication stage.  In the beginning of the project an initial architecture is envisioned and this vision is communicated to stakeholders and developers.  The architect continues to work with developers to realise the architecture and as the project progresses work products – architectural artefacts are updated.  Architecture becomes a collaborative affair – the realisation of a digital strategy utilising digital pace requires great collaboration and communication in order to build well designed, highly usable products.
