James Coplien, Gertrud & Cope, DenmarkJames ("Cope") Coplien is a Software Architecture and Agile Consultant at Gertrud&Cope in Denmark. He has a 25-year history as an "early adopter" and innovator behind several strategic innovations in software: his C++ Idioms book was one of the major sources for Design Patterns; his work on Organizational Patterns was one of the foundations of the structural components of XP and was the inspiration for Scrums. His books cover areas as diverse as C++ programming, software design, and organizational design. He has started writing a book on Agile software development. His current professional focus areas include Lean software architecture, highlighting the challenges of test-driven development, and Scrum process improvement using Organizational Patterns. His current day-to-day work includes architecture reviews, coding, and helping organizations work more effectively in lean economic conditions through process improvement and reduction of waste. His current hobby is creating advanced (housing) architecture CAD tools based on pattern languages. He lives with his wife and son in Mørdrup, Denmark. When he grows up, he wants to be an anthropologist.
Agile Architecture, with an UpdateJames "Cope" Coplien has long been speaking about the need to maintain good but lightweight architectural practices in an Agile setting, and points to both industry experience and formal studies that support this position. Cope will talk in general about winning strategies that amplify the Agile values through good architectural practice.
In the in-depth seminar that follows, Cope will cover these techniques in a bit more depth. He will also describe recent work with Trygve Reenskaug that looks closely about how to capture the structure of Use Cases directly in an OO architecture, and about when and how to do that.
