 ersity.net/sessionPop.cfm?confid=157&proposalid=14591\nThere is a schism be
 tween the Agile (deliberately capitalized) community and the data modeling/
 architecture community. This schism inhibits us from building truly ag
 ile (deliberately lower-case) applications that are cheaper, faster, and be
 tter than earlier approaches.\n\nThe Schism:\n\nMany Agilists believe that 
 data modeling and architecture, in the best case, are luxuries one can&rsqu
 o;t afford in order to move quickly. In the worst case, some believe modeli
 ng and architecture are bureaucratic relics of "waterfall" method
 s that are fundamentally incompatible with Agile schedules and must be avoi
 ded at all costs.\n\nIn fairness, many modelers/architects view Agile work 
 products as quick-and-dirty point solutions that will never converge as qua
 lity, enterprise solutions and are fundamentally incompatible with properly
  governed, shared data. Integration can only be achieved via top-down 
 enterprise model-driven program management. Pay me now or pay me (more
 ) later to fix it. Many modelers/architects view the Agile rage as the
  latest fad that will hopefully soon pass.\n\nThe Solution:\n\nBoth biases 
 are misguided. It is possible to achieve durable, enterprise integrati
 on with dramatic productivity improvement, but it requires both the Agile a
 nd modeling communities to adopt significantly new methods. This works
 hop uses a case study to illustrate an approach that delivers demonstrable 
 business value early through incremental and opportunistic sprints yet conv
 erges to enterprise integration with data quality and durability. The 
 critical elements of the approach are:\n\n
 Business problem-driven project scope\n
 Clear metrics that quantify business value\n
 Rapid modeling techniques (Rule of Fives)\n
 Iterative model-management practices\n
 Modular, multi-layered data architecture\n\n
