Lean Architecture: for Agile Software Development

It’s time for change – after 30 years, DCI has risen to challenge Model–View–Controller (MVC)!   
Aiming at no less than a paradigm shift, Lean Architecture uses a modern approach to architecture, built on the software wisdom of five decades while embracing refreshing new insights of Lean and Agile. Giving a down to earth view of Agile requirements and the often ignored relationship between requirements and architecture, this book goes beyond the fashionable idea of User Stories, and shows you how to employ Use Cases in a lightweight, incremental, Agile way.   The authors detail the DCI (Data, Context and Interaction) architecture paradigm and show how DCI succeeds where MVC has failed in integrating software design with the end user’s understanding of the overall business structure.
However, this is not a methodology book, but a book which focuses on code, with plenty of code examples. Topics covered include: Agile production, Stakeholder engagement, Organisational issues, Scala/Python/Java implementation of the DCI account example, Qi4J and much more.
Renowned software architecture expert James Coplien and agile requirements expert Gertrud Bjørnvig share their expertise to give you concrete design advice that will help you:Create software that builds on your end–user mental models rather than design methodologiesWrite software that can directly be verified against behavioural requirementsOrganise – so that all your stakeholders support each otherSupport rapidly changing feature code in stable domain code to help embrace change
Lean Architecture casts a new light over important aspects of software development that have been marginalized or forgotten by the agile movement – it will help you find your own path.
