Agile Sports Roles - The Architect

In Agile Sports, team architecture is a key source of success and risk, and the architect is responsible for ensuring the team is built around players that complement each other, fit the team identity and can build and sustain value. The architect is the person who owns the personnel decisions for the team and who facilitates the creation and evolution of the overall team identity. Some owners are more closely involved in player personnel decisions, while others leave these decisions to the architect, GM, scouts and assistant coaches. The architect can be the owner, however the rule of empiricism and analytics within the Agile Sports Framework™ suggest that the decision maker(s) for player personnel be an expert in the sport, an analytics guru and able to map player acquisitions (drafts and free agents) to the performance needs and goals defined by the lead analyst. For non-professional teams, the architect is the coach.
