As glue N’DO, join the Continuous Architecture Open source initiative :
Continuous Architecture by glue N'DO
We provide practical model and support to accelerate the implementation of Continuous Architecture agile operating model
Why Changing The Way Of Architecting?
A Problem to solve...
...We can't face by classical approach...
So, we will have to redesign a new Architecture Operating Model !
And yes, Why not adopting this as a MOTTO ?
ALIGNMENT + AUTONOMY > CONTROL
Who may be able to Do it?
IT professionals of all kind but, first of all...Architects... off course !
I want to be a change maker
I am ready to Collaborate with many different talents, roles, positions and be open to a great collective learning

How to prepare and lead a Continuous Architecture journey ?
All Contexts are unique.
In our opinion, New Operating model and Continuous Architecture Journey start by:
- Challenging where architecture can bring more value in your context
- Challenging your architecture believes
- Challenging your current architecture model
- Challenging your way of empowering architectes and teams
What could be part of a modern Architecture operating model ?
A true change is global.
In our opinion, a coherent Architecture Operating model deals with:
- Role and organisation
- Rituals
- Practices and deliverables
By Continuous Architecture, we want to simplify architects roles. Our objectives are to:
- Develop delivery teams judgement regarding architecture to increase their autonomy
- Develop system thinking (see the whole)
- Clarify roles and responsabilities between architects subject matter experts and delivery teams
By Continuous Architecture, we want to develop alignment and facilitate architecture decisions thanks to a set of rituals. Our objectives are to:
- Bridge the gap between architects (focus on long term) and delivery squads (focus on short term)
- Setup a decentralized architectural decision framework that reinforce alignment while increasing delivery team’s autonomy
- Organize the dialog zone between intentional architecture and emergent design
- Make architecture happened in the team(s) room(s), the teams will be surrounded by the results
- Become great architects by architecting together
By Continuous Architecture, we want to procure a safe and collaborative environment for architecting together. Our objectives are to
- Make the decisions more transparent and clarify its rationale for all stakeholders
- Continuously plan technical foundation needed to implement near-term features without excessive redesign and delay
- Coming up with the right system boundaries and manage dependencies between systems
- Facilitate collaboration and teams works so that they can focus on value
- Develop sharing of best architecture practices
An evolutive toolbox based on practionner’s feedbacks
Continuous Architecture will be a product with Continuously releasing evolutions based on feedbacks. and members contributors.
An Open source Initiative launched by MICHELIN and GLUENDO
Continuous architecture Model was Initially developed by Michelin & Gluendo to setup an agile architecture operating model and to support the Michelin digital journey.
Designed around an empowerment and operational architecture toolkits that are available now under open-source license, we would like to shared more broadly the approach with professionals facing the same reality, in order to improve it and build and architecture learning ecosystem .
