What are the key principles of architectural flexibility?

1. Modular Design Approach: Breaking down the architecture into smaller, independent modules to enable easier modification.

2. Adaptable Infrastructure: Creating a malleable infrastructure that can support changes as business needs evolve.

3. Scalability: Creating systems that can expand or shrink in size with changing business requirements.

4. Implementation Data and Process Standards: Standardizing data and process flows to ensure that systems are interoperable and can be integrated.

5. Loose Coupling: Designing systems with loosely coupled components that can interact with independence.

6. Robustness: Building systems that can withstand failure or errors in a specific component.

7. Technology Independence: Designing systems that can handle changing technology platforms by separating business logic from technology-dependent logic.

8. Service Orientation: Designing software that can create and use services independent of the underlying technology, architecture, or delivery models.

9. Agile Development: Making iterative changes, based on feedback to streamline development processes and increase overall flexibility.
