Trait of an agile environment: rock solid architecture

One of the most important aspects of practicing software architecture is the attention to the aspect that guides most design decisions: usage. So, architecture is more about user interface or service interface and how it supports the tasks and objectives of each user or application role.

Architecture then encompasses a consistent style of taking design decisions, decision ranging from logical decomposition of modules to the deployment strategies for new versions, all related to the intended usage of the system.
