Experience suggests that reality lives somewhere between these two extremes, but where, exactly, is the clear and present question.

Along, the way, we’ll study contemporary approaches to scaling agile, and conclude with an examination of work yet to be done.
Pragmatic Architecture: How to Know When It’s Enough
Details Overengineering wastes time and effort, while underengineering creates future pain. How do you strike the right balance? This talk explores how you can use the balanced coupling model to achieve the just-right engineering. You’ll learn to predict volatility of...
