Pragmatic Agile Model-Driven Architecture

Pragmatic Agile Model-Driven Architecture

Much of enterprise software is of woeful quality, many new projects often take a waterfall approach, and teams attempting to deliver enterprise apps often do so inconsistently. Come listen to one of the authors of the Agile Manifesto paint a picture of 3 ways to look at software development to achieve success. See how easy it is to build flexible and repeatable architectural approaches to technologies such as Web Services, Hibernate, EJBs, etc. Do you have effective ways to deliver your architectural designs to each member of the development team? If the technical architecture needs to change, how easy can it be accomplished? If the business needs change, how quickly can you get a new version out the door? Come hear about a non-silver bullet, pragmatic approach, and bring your skepticism and questions – Jon’s sessions are always lively and interactive!

Outspoken software engineering evangelist, Agile Manifesto co-author, speaker, and author, Jon's experience is wide-ranging across varied problem domains and technology platforms. From jet engine R&D (he's an aerospace engineer, after all) to real-time flight simulator design and development, from TogetherSoft's and OptimalJ's commercially successful modeling tools to building IBM's Manufacturing Execution System software - Jon has seen and done a lot in his 20 years. Peter Coad recruited Jon in September 1999, to help launch TogetherSoft. Jon was a driving force behind the success of the company and its products prior to its sale to Borland. Jon's a nut when it comes to modeling effectively (focused on the business), building and architecting consistently, and doing it in an agile manner to deliver results. If a team ignores these best practices, it invites the peril of building up Technical Debt, as he likes to refer to it. Jon is a speaker that engages the audience and has fun doing it.
