Open Comments - Episode 17: At the Helm of Change: Enterprise Architecture's Role in Agile, with Charlie Betz
Are you ready to shake up your perceptions about Enterprise Architecture? That's exactly what you'll do after listening in on our fascinating conversation with Charlie Betz, who helms Forrester's Enterprise Architecture EA Priority. This episode will take you on a journey through the highlights of the Forrester Enterprise Architecture Awards program. You'll get to peek behind the curtain of some of the most innovative architecture practices, and will undoubtedly walk away with a renewed appreciation for the role of Enterprise Architecture within organizations. Our chat with Charlie also explores the formidable impact of agile dev ops and product thinking on the IT operating model.
We'll also be discussing how architecture continues to add value to a company, even in an Agile world, and how the absence of architecture can lead to fragmentation and increased costs. We also tackle the issues with traditional architecture review processes and share insights on how to avoid such pitfalls. Our special guest, Charlie, will be enlightening us on the importance of lifelong learning and the concept of the Forrester Awards.
