Continuous Architecture Toolkit

Purpose

The Continuous Architecture Toolkit offers guiding ideas, practices, rituals, and methods. Unlike most existing enterprise architecture or agile-at-scale frameworks, Continuous Architecture:

• Starts from your real-world problems rather than proposing generic organizational or architectural models.
• Supports the transition from project to product-oriented delivery.
• Leverages the power of modern software engineering practices.
• Is truly open and community-driven.

Governance

We aim to make contributing to the Continuous Architecture Toolkit a pleasant and enriching experience for everyone, regardless of skill level. Contributions of all kinds are welcome!

Learn more about our governance model and how you can get involved.

To get started, please read our Contribution Guidelines.

Supporting Us

We are a collective of passionate architects and open source advocates working to transform the way software architecture is practiced. We occasionally organize physical and virtual events, which may require some funding. Our goal is not to profit but simply to cover expenses.

If you would like to support our efforts, you can do so here.
Thank you 🙏
