Architectural flexibility refers to the ability of a system to change its structure or behavior easily and quickly in response to changing requirements or user needs. This flexibility enables system modularity as it allows different components of the system to be modified, added or even removed without affecting the functionality of other components.
By using an architecture that allows for flexibility and modularity, different modules of a system can be developed or modified independently, without affecting the other modules. This reduces the complexity of the system and improves its maintainability, scalability, and reliability.
For instance, if a system's architecture is designed with the ability to add or remove components, then developers can add new functionality to the system without affecting the existing components. This saves time and effort and makes the system easier to maintain and update.
In summary, architectural flexibility enables the development of modular systems which can be easily changed and updated without disrupting other components. This increases the system's flexibility, maintainability, scalability, and adaptability to changing requirements.
