The traditional EA role of documenting business processes and capabilities serves a purposes. However, if nobody reads the documentation and it gets out of date quickly, it’s a tick-box exercise rather than a value creating one. designing systems that document themselves. Enterprise Architects are smart people.

The Agile manager does specific things: advances the understanding of the domain, has a symbiotic relationship with the do-ers, creates and adjusts the processes and social systems, and protects the team’s execution. We saw last month that just because somebody is the manager of an Agile team does not make that person an Agile manager.

There are many possible failure modes, and each exercises a different aspect of resilience. Another problem is that a design control, intended to mitigate a failure mode, may not work as intended. Staff should be familiar with recovery processes and the behavior of the system when it’s working hard to mitigate failures.

If we accept the fact that Agile is a value system and not a set of mechanical processes, it stands to reason that there must be something different about the norms and behaviors of Agile managers vis-a-vis traditional managers.

To accomplish this goal, an organization needs to build internal processes and procedures that can operationalize a performance-first culture. According to Tim Kadlec : A performance budget is a clearly defined limit on one or more performance metrics that the team agrees not to exceed and that is used to guide design and development.

For example, the PID namespace makes it so that a process can only see PIDs in its own namespace, and therefore cannot send kill signals to random processes on the host.
