Abstracts:
Jacob Duijzer: Fast Flow, Not Fast Fluff: Embracing an Eclectic DevOps Coaching Approach
Sometimes it feels like sailing against the wind: delivering value for our customers. There are so many obstacles that it might feel like navigating through a labyrinth of uncertainties. Sometimes we might know how to fix “our part”, but fixing the whole is a completely different challenge.

In this session, I will talk about an eclectic approach to change, by leveraging Team Topologies, DevOps, Lean, and Agile principles. I will talk about how a Team-First approach, with a strong focus on the outcome, can help to achieve great results. But we might also discover that having fun at work actually helps in delivering more value, sooner, safer, and happier!

Eduardo de Silva: Towards Architecture Topologies for Sustainable Fast Flow of Change
In this talk, I discuss a concept I have been working on called “Architecture Topologies” (https://esilva.net/architecture-topologies), a set of thinking models and practices to help orgs understand, discuss, and improve their approaches to architecture. Having explicit language to do that is essential so organizations can achieve a more sustainable flow of change and better respond to their environment.

During the talk, I will introduce the basic ideas and discuss some interesting architecture topologies, such as “Architecture as an Enabling Team”, “Anybody Architects” or “Architecture Modernization Enabling Teams” (AMETs). I will also show some examples of how bol.com, the largest online retailer in the Netherlands and Belgium, has evolved its architecture topologies over the last two decades. Through that journey, we will see how it is crucial for organizations to continuously adapt their organizational structures and topologies, their approaches to architecture, and their ways of working to respond effectively and sustainably to their changing environment.

By being more explicit on how to approach architecture and embracing its continuous evolution, modern organizations can become more equipped to achieve a sustainable and fast flow of change and cope with their increasing demands.
