Enterprise Architecture in Agile Transformation («BPU»)

• Understanding how the structure of teams, their skills, responsibilities and system architecture affect the efficiency and resilience of an organisation
• Understanding how systems can be modularised in an aspect-oriented way
• Evaluating a given business structure or system architecture for efficiency and resilience

In this workshop you will design the transformation of a company with a project-oriented, phase-oriented approach into a company that works with agile product teams. 
The task is to design the optimal structure of both the agile teams and the system landscape! 
For both companies, it is important to implement the same change request as efficiently as possible and, in doing so, to recognize which factors must be paid particular attention to in an agile transformation.

• The advantages and disadvantages of the phase-oriented project approach
• Important characteristics of an efficient company 
• Identifying business processes as the basis for transformation 
• Eliciting IT systems and meaningful system functionalities from the business processes
• Modularizing the system landscape
• Designing product teams and defining module owners
• Measuring the efficiency of the transformed company on the basis of a change request
• Identifying differences between the original company and the transformed company and recording findings
