Practical Architecture Management Techniques
Approaches to managing technology architecture across a diverse enterprise tend to be pretty bipolar: either a huge formal ivory-tower framework that produces reams of standards and documentation that no one actually uses, or really no framework at all and everything is self-organizing chaos. These two approaches tend to have identical outcomes, with the former just having more bureaucracy involved than the latter.
In this session, we'll talk about several practical things you can do to put some minimal structure and governance around architectural chaos without moving into the ivory tower and becoming irrelevant.
