Agile is Tulip!

You need a business architect involved at every scrum, that understands everything end to end , because people tend to lose the big picture in agile.

Conveying the big picture is the Product Owner's job in Scrum (Or business visionary in DSDM etc). All of these methodologies rely on communication - and if communication is bad it doesn't matter what methodology you're using, you're going to fail.

It's generally good to hire as many non-developers as possible, you definitely don't want more than 10% of the team actually doing any tangible work. So you probably want a business architect, business analyst, data architect, enterprise architect for each couple of developers on the project, as well as a half-dozen testers and a test manager. Possibly you'll want a test architect as well.

POTD.

I guarantee somebody somewhere is now thinking "we haven't got a test architect, that must be why it's all going wrong"
