When in doubt, use C4

• What we'll do
If you need to help other people understand a system, being able to draw it helps. But if you’re going to draw it, how do you make it digestible?

In this talk, Chris Adams of Product Science will introduce Simon Brown’s C4 model - an easy to grasp, lightweight, consistent, technology-agnostic approach for visually describing how technical systems work, designed with distracted executives and detail obsessed developers in mind.
He’ll also share his experience using it on various projects over the last four years, and show how it can become part of the build pipeline when building applications.
