The consequence of the increasing development and use of digital technologies, in every segment of society, is the emergence of digital disruption - a powerful external pressure that is changing the way business is done in all industries. Businesses are responding to digital disruption by digital transformation, which involves organizational change, redefining and aligning digital and business strategies, new business models, increased agility of software development and delivery processes, migration and/or integration of legacy systems using cloud-based platforms and ecosystems. In such a context, one of the key responsibilities of a software architect is to maintain the agility of the organization by defending the flexibility of digital strategy and IT resources so that the enterprise is able to transform and respond adequately and rapidly to the effects of digital disruption. In this regard, the question arises as to how digital disruption and business transformation affect the change in the role, importance, competence and agility of a software architect, especially in the context of the development of complex business software systems. This paper aims to present the role of an agile software architect in the era of digital disruption and transformation, by integrating the results of theoretical and empirical research. A systematic literature review identifies the role, importance, and competencies of a software architect in implementing agile architecture. In other hand, empirical research, based on a case study in a large enterprise, provides a better understanding of the importance of software architect for aligning business and digital strategy, as well as its contribution to increasing the agility of the process of developing, delivering and integrating complex business software systems.

“…Horizontal and vertical organization structuring: The architect deals with the organization structure (Nord et al, 2014;Shahin et al, 2019); connects parts of the organization horizontally and vertically (Hohpe et al, 2016); builds bridges between and across different levels of organization (Hohpe et al, 2016); considering highly skilled teams (Shahin et al, 2019); architects in the organization must work better together, e.g. working as an "expert council" (Martensson et al, 2019).…”

“…The architect focuses on quality attributes (QA) and architecturally significant requirements (ASR) (Faber, 2010;Woods, 2016;Larrucea et al, 2018;Waterman, 2018a); identifies defects that are key to sustainability and evolution (Britto et al, 2016); manages architecture and monitors the current state of architecture (Martini & Bosch, 2016;Holmes & Nicolaescu, 2017); defines the most important characteristics (Martensson et al, 2019); communicates clearly and continuously the importance of the main ASR (Martensson et al, 2019); has feedback from the team or analysis tools on the status of the system, to understand if the architectural requirements are at risk (Martensson et al, 2019).…”

Balkans Journal of Emerging Trends in Social Sciences-Balkans JETSS Aims and Scope The mission of Balkans JETSS is to publish peer-review empirical research papers that test, extend or build theory and contribute to practice. All empirical methods-including, but not limited to, qualitative, quantitative, field, laboratory, and combination methods are welcome. Empirical, theoretical and methodological articles from all major fields of economics, management, tourism, law and the like are featured in the journal. Theoretical and/or review articles that integrate existing bodies of research and that provide new insights into the field are also encouraged. To be published in the Balkans JETSS, a manuscript must take strong empirical and/or theoretical contributions to the subject field. Consequently, preference is given to submissions that test, extend or build strong theoretical frameworks while empirically examining issues with high importance for theory and practice. The journal is not tied to any particular discipline, level of analysis, or national context. Although, it focuses on Balkans region, all papers from related fields on any region or country are highly encouraged. Single country studies, multi-country or regional studies can be submitted. Manuscripts should not exceed 16 pages (450 word per page). This page limit includes all figures, tables, appendices and references. Copyright information For Authors As soon as an article is accepted for publication, authors will be requested to assign copyright of the article (or to grant exclusive publication and dissemination rights) to the publisher. This will ensure the widest possible protection and dissemination of information under copyright laws.
