What Could Go Wrong Without an Architect? The aforementioned beliefs have seen many a projects fail. With no architect (or a person who handles similar responsibilities) in place, things might look rosy in the first few sprints (when minimal functionality is being delivered), but will take a turn for the ugly as sprints go by.
An architect’s role is one of the few that needs to swim against the Agile tide and avoid massive changes in every sprint. It is also one of the few roles that needs to have a long term vision of the product, beyond the next couple of sprints.
As time goes by to make a change in the code becomes a nightmare, because the code was being written with a tunneled vision of the system, by ignoring the wider system and by ignoring what’s coming in the future. There will be no framework in place, no standard practices, each part of the code will be written with different assumptions in mind because each of the developers have different ideas. The modules will not scalable, implementing simple features takes a lot longer time than expected.
