Modern software engineering is oriented towards building networked distributed features for a highly connected and web savvy customer base in varying contexts. Traditional team structures within the enterprise have evolved from technical SME cliques as engineers who “Ate lunch together wrote Software together” Good product strategy requires thinking about product features are built by engineeringContinue reading “How to pull a reverse-Conway to deliver Products vs Projects: Domain Centric Product Teams”

Microservices for orchestration: How to apply the stateful process adapter pattern
What are stateful microservices? Microservices holding state while performing some longer-than-normal execution time type tasks. They have the following characteristics They have an API to start a new instance and an API to read the current state of a given instance They orchestrate a bunch of actions that may be part of a single end-to-endContinue reading “Microservices for orchestration: How to apply the stateful process adapter pattern”
Tackling complexity: Using Process maps to improve visibility of integrated system features
“Entropy always increases “– second law of thermodynamics Enterprise systems are similar to isolated physical systems, where the entropy or hidden-information always increases. As the business grows, our technology footprint grows as new systems are implemented, new products and cross-functional features are imagined and an amazing network of integrations emerge Knowing how information flows andContinue reading “Tackling complexity: Using Process maps to improve visibility of integrated system features”
