Minimum Viable Architecture (MVA) or “Just enough architecture”

 

One of the key elements of the Agile methodology is minimum viable product (MVP), which means building a product with just enough functionality to deliver a usable product to early adopters.

Minimum viable architecture (MVA) applies that same idea to the entire enterprise. Architecture that’s good enough for the product to be released, and needs to be continually improved during the lifetime of the product.
