A summary of the keynote talk 'Agile Architecture' by Molly Dishman and Martin Fowler at the O'Reilly Software Architecture Conference 2015. They define architecture as 'the things that are hard to change' and argue that agile teams must still actively work on architecture despite having no dedicated phase for it. Key practices include: making decisions reversible, representing architectural work as user stories, ensuring architects stay engaged with coding, fostering team-wide communication and shared understanding, and using example code areas to drive consistency. Fowler emphasizes that good architecture is ultimately a people problem requiring time, care, and collaboration.
