Stories on Facilitating Software Design and Architecture
We’ve consistently observed a common pattern: regardless of the architectural approach—from traditional enterprise to more hands-on, emergent methods—teams face similar obstacles when building effective systems. The core challenge remains how to build software that truly works and enables a smooth flow of delivery.Â
To address this, we’ve started a new series, Stories on Facilitating Software Design and Architecture. In these sessions, we focus on real-world experiences from our community, sharing practical stories about the alternative approaches that have delivered results. It’s about moving beyond the theoretical and into the practical, shared wisdom of what actually works.
