Can Lean help improve the Architecture Maturity of an entire organization ?
Architecture is more often recognized as an art than as a science. We will discuss how taking a fresh look at Architectural activities through a process and a “Lean” lens can yield unexpected benefits for the Architects as individuals and as a team. We will also explain how this approach can greatly improve the architectural quality of the deliverables and the architectural maturity of an Organization.
