SW development and architecture conference
I’m currently participating the software development and architecture conference in Espoo. After the first day there have been very interesting presentations about SOA and different tools and methods for agile software development. The one of the key speakers, Tom Gilb, gave a presentation about the evolutionary project management (EVO), which seems to be quite efficient if it is examined by numbers and figures.
Jan Bosch from Nokia had also an excellent speech titled “Business Driven Software Architecture”. He pointed out how important it is to document and store the design decisions that are made when architecture is designed. These design decisions (DDs) have a great value when new architecture in design affects the old design.
