Towards an Evolutionary Design

A good design is critical for success with agile development. That does not mean a big up-front design. The design has to be evolutionary. However, the design you evolve must be extensible and maintainable. After all, you can't be agile if your design sucks.

In this presentation, we will address what evolutionary design is, and will delve into principles and practices that can help realize an effective evolutionary design.
