Why Technical Agility Matters for Business

It seems like all anyone talks about these days is making our architectures more modular and whether microservices is the answer. The question is, should your business embrace microservices and similar highly modular architectures or stick with what you have? In this session I will describe the business value, business benefits, and drivers associated with moving towards architectural modularity. Once you understand the drivers for architectural modularity, you can them make an informed decision about whether you should embrace architectural modularity in your company or run away from it as fast as possible.

Agenda:

  • Drivers for architectural modularity
  • Business and technical change
  • Architecture and competitive advantage
  • What level of architecture modularity do you need?
