What are the agile cornerstones?
- Enable People (visualize of teams , resp)

What is the difference between Projects and Products
Product development is done with long term organization and with no decided end date.

What is the Backbone of User Story Mapping

- Clarify Requirements
- Design Structures
- Design (Crosscutting) Conceps
- Communicate Architecture

- Evaluate Architecture
What are the 6 Principles of Continuous Architecture
- Architect Products not just solutions for projects
- Focus on quality attributes
- Delay Design decisions until they are absolutely necessary
- Architect for change
- Architect for build, test, and deploy
- Model the organization after the design of the system
Ways to deal with large systems
- Chunking -> Modularity
- Hierarchies -> Hierarchical Layering
- Schemata -> Pattern Consistency
The more teams, the more …
coordination is necessary -> Software Architecture
What are architectural decisions?
- Spanning several subsystems or components
