            Abstract : 
Responsibility-driven architecture (RDA) explores when, how, and who should make architectural decisions. The author´s research attempts to answer these questions from an agile perspective and proposes a framework to improve architectural design. It has also provided an opportunity to reframe the role and relevancy of the architect in agile development.
