Sustainable Architecture in Corporate Environments

Overview

About this stream

How many times have you felt like architects are sitting somewhere in an ivory tower, making decisions disconnected from the reality of messy IT ecosystems? Decisions are made, not aligned, not understood, not enforced. Months later people ponder on what went wrong.

How many times have you felt like architects are sitting somewhere in an ivory tower, making decisions disconnected from the reality of messy IT ecosystems? Decisions are made, not aligned, not understood, not enforced. Months later people ponder on what went wrong.

What if there is another way? What if we could make the process more aligned with business needs and the organization as a whole. At the same time making the right people involved and sharing common understanding of the problem domain instead of making unnamed and unspoken assumptions about what is being delivered? In a corporate environment we usually have many teams working on different business cases. That by itself usually requires different architecture approaches. Sustainable architecture is a result of an ongoing process aiming to align the siloed approaches done by different teams. What if the balancing mechanism to achieve this is not by having the architect as an explicit role, but instead by facilitating architecture through technical coaching.

Joining us in this session is Mufrid Krilic, Domain-Driven Design Coach. He’ll guide us through how technical and modelling excellence can bring value to organizations on all levels. We’ll explore real world examples and stories about scaling organizations and challenges in maintaining sustainability in architecture and alignment processes!

Join us in this important conversation!

    Welcome back to Loosely Coupled by BridgingTheGap.eu.com.

  3. Karol

    My name is Karol Skrzymowski and I'll be your host tonight, and hopefully everybody has a nice cup of coffee, tea, water, coke, whatever you drink at this hour.

  4. Karol

    Well, I just spilled a little bit of my coffee all over the desk, you know, it's cleanup duty.

  5. Karol

    Today I also were joined by my black senior of the house, a 30-year-old cat called Baltazar.

  6. Karol

    You've probably seen him in one of the streams previously if you've been watching those, hopping around.

  7. Karol

    And today, about hopping, we'll talk about impact.

  8. Karol

    What kind of impact are we making in terms of being architects, introducing changes, introducing bugs into the code, into the architecture, into our business processes, or just making changes because the business said so, right?
