Abstract
Architecture and design is understanding the core needs of a product and making decisions that makes those factors easy to deliver on.
Getting those decision right today doesn't mean those decisions will be right tomorrow. And those decisions that were wrong today can be right tomorrow. How? The context you are working in and the context your product exists in change.
Learn to see some of the signals to look out for and how to identify more, how to find levers to using causal models, externalizing your context with u-curves, and see what context would cause you to make different decisions. Along the way, we will explore strategy and how to create more options in architecture so the cost of being right today and wrong tomorrow is low.
Leave this session more in tune with the system your architecture lives in and influences.
