Abstract
Agile software development processes are best applied to small teams on small to medium sized projects. Scaling agile methodologies is desired in order to bring the benefits of agile to larger, more complex projects. One way to scale agile methods is via an architecture-centric approach, in which a project is divided into smaller modules on which sub teams can use agile effectively. However, a problem with architecture-centric modifications to agile methods is the introduction of non-agile elements, for instance up-front design and integration difficulties. These issues are discussed and a tool-based solution is presented facilitating the adoption of the architecture-centric agile approach.
