Lean/Agile and Architecture are by no means in contradiction. Their common denominators are flexibility and minimization of duplicate/unnecessary effort, whatever the label on the resulting savings. The less architected and modular an approach, the more "promiseware" necessary - and the more effort spent clarifying what it's supposed to do; when Lean or Agile is misinterpreted as absence of architecture, it increases the risk of long lead time and heavyweight analysis paralysis which it would decrease otherwise.

Put your knowledge assets to work. Knowledge Sharing is cool - there's nothing hot about Ignorance Hiding.
