IRM Architecture Process for an Agile Business

We give you a template for an architecture process that will build an agile business. The process itself is also tailored to fit into an environment of agile development and DevOps organisation. The end-to-end process is divided into three main processes. : Map and evaluate, Initiate change, and Develop and change. Here is an overview:

Map and evaluate

Architects work on a living organisation. You need to get up to speed. Get an overview, do some standard evaluation, identify main pain points and find their root causes. The timeframe is weeks – not months.

Initiate change

This is a main process that must follow the rhythm of the organisation. It is initiated by change proposals and must lead to smart definitions of change initiatives. All new initiatives must be defined and scoped in an architectural context and combined with relevant and necessary clean-up activities. Initiatives must be funded and allocated to development teams.

Develop and change

In this main process the architect will work with details in cooperation with development teams. The architect has three main responsibilities: (i) answer for the intention of the overall architecture (ii) coordinate between development teams, and (iii) complete and detail architecture models.
