Effective Architecture Topologies


⚠️ Are you facing challenges around:

  • modernizing your architecture and approach to architecture?
  • teams struggling to design and build their services?
  • lack of architectural alignment across multiple teams and through the organization?
  • needing excessive coordination to make any significant changes?

🟠 If these questions resonate with you, your organization's approach to architecture is lacking.

🟒 This is where I can help you with "Effective Architecture Topologies" workshops and sessions. These are designed to help you to improve the way your organization and teams approach architecture in order to maximize learning, and ability to design and approach decision-making.


⭐️ Why

Because organizations are continuously changing: different challenges on their environment, different people/teams, different technologies and scopes of work, etc. This means, there structures and dynamics are also changing, and so is its ability to learn, design and decide.

This is why I propose having clear thinking models and practices to continuously understand and improve the organization's approach to architecture. If we want to improve, we need to know how to talk about that, and this is what I do with the "Architecture Topologies" thinking models and practices: provide you with a clear language to understand and discuss how to improve your architecture approach.


ℹ️ What

We will discuss the core ideas of Architecture Topologies, and how you can start adopting it in your own organization. We will look into the fundamental perspectives (evolution and organization scopes), and then discuss several strategies to start its adoption, using several exercises and examples of popular architecture topologies to inspire you.


πŸ‘€ Who should attend

Anyone helping driving Architecture and how it is approached in the organization. This can be people working as Architect, or being part of an Architecture Team, or can also be Tech Leads, Staff Engineers, Directors, etc., who are driving important decisions and coaching their teams on the practices around Architecture.

πŸ’‘ These workshops and coaching sessions can also be interesting for Architecture teams, as a way to collectively understand how to evolve the organization's approach to architecture. This tends to mean stop being the ones designing, and focusing on helping teams, on whatever is needed, to enable them to better design and decide.
