Outspoken software engineering evangelist, Agile Manifesto (http://AgileManifesto.org) co-author, speaker and author; Jon's experience is wide-ranging across varied problem domains and technology platforms. From jet engine R&D (he's an aerospace engineer, after all) to real-time flight simulator design and development, from TogetherSoft's and OptimalJ's commercial modeling tools, to building IBM's Manufacturing Execution System software -- Jon has seen and done a lot in his 20 years. He has led numerous teams, including teams in Russia, his own consulting firm, and has consulted/mentored hundreds others.
Peter Coad recruited Jon in Sep. '99, to help launch TogetherSoft. Jon was a driving force behind the success of the company and its products prior to its 2003 sale to Borland. He enjoyed the 2 years he spent commuting to St. Petersburg, Russia, to lead the development teams. Jon's work on lightweight development methodologies (which began as a form of self-defense against MIL-STD-2167 and -498 during his DoD consulting days). He also co-authored "Java Design" with his longtime mentor, Peter Coad, and worked on a few other books. Jon's a nut when it comes to modeling effectively (focused on the business), building and architecting consistently, and doing it in an agile manner to deliver results. If a team ignores these best practices, it invites the peril of building up Technical Debt, as he likes to refer to it. Jon is a speaker that engages the audience and has fun doing it.

Almost any IT department has to deal with different types of transformation. It could be business driven transformation pushed by new business model or merge and acquisition strategy. It could be technology driven transformation such as adopting new architecture pattern or replacing vendor. It doesn’t matter which transformation you’re going through, you always have to touch the business, information, applications and technology domains of the enterprise. Dealing with those four domains creates complexity that needed to be planned and managed.
Enterprise Architecture is a young but proven methodology that enables enterprise around the world to deal successfully with business, Information, Applications and technology domains. In this session Natty will present real-life scenarios were Enterprise Architecture has been used successfully to drive and complete transformations.
