Study Notes
- The text discusses the architecture of an agile system, which consists of three critical elements
- Encapsulated modules are self-contained units with well-defined interfaces that conform to the passive infrastructure
- Passive infrastructure provides drag-and-drop connectivity between modules, enabling rapid operational functionality
- Active infrastructure designates responsibilities for maintaining agile operational capability in response to new requirements
- Reusable design principles include encapsulated modules, facilitated interfacing, and reusable modules
- Reconfigurable principles include peer-to-peer interaction, distributed control and information, and self-organization
- Scalable principles include evolving infrastructure standards, redundancy and diversity, and elastic capacity
- Agility measures include time to respond, cost to respond, predictability of response, and scope of response
- The architecture enables rapid response to new requirements by facilitating the evolution and scalability of the system.
