Warum Softwarearchitektur und Führungskultur enger miteinander verknüpft sind, als man zunächst vermuten möchte und welche Handlungsempfehlungen sich daraus ableiten lassen.
4. Disclaimers
• I talk Specifically about developing
a software product
• (maybe) not relevant for other fields
• Audience
• Who is working in product development ?
• Company size ?
5. History
• 1968 - Conway:
„Organizations which design systems
[…] are constrained to produce designs
which are copies of the communication
structures of these organizations.“
„Der Entwurf von Systemen ist durch
die Kommunikationsstrukturen der
umsetzenden Organisationen
vorbestimmt.“
6. Statement
• Software & business architecture are
interlinked
• Mismatch can have extremely bad
consequences
• Friction on all levels, burning money
• Slow development because of too many
backlog interdependencies
• No time to work on tech debt due to
frequently changing objectives
