Exciting times for IT architects: agile practices and domain-driven design, cloud nativity and Web APIs, generative AI and DevOps automation and many other trending topics keep on changing the context of our work. The main responsibilities and essence of our role remain, though: serving as advocates of development teams, coaches and communicators, technical risk managers, and, last but certainly not least, decision makers.
This talk introduces old and new Architectural Decision (AD) making practices such as AD Records (ADRs), AD definitions of ready and done, and Most Responsible Moment (MRM). It also identifies criteria for architectural significance and ADR (anti-)patterns.
The talk concludes with a proposal of a maturity model for AD management and a first look on ongoing research to position ethical values such as sustainability as special types of non-functional requirements.
Take aways:
– Find out when to best make which type of decision (MRM).
– Learn how to make and document ADs effectively, efficiently, and responsibly.
– Identify opportunities to improve existing architecture practices
Enterprise Architecture Management has been around for four decades now. Many promises were made by this discipline, yet today most enterprises still don’t have intentionally designed business and IT architectures. Executives, organisation-, product-, service- or software designers co-create the reality in companies in parallel, often ignoring each other’s work. Enterprise Architects usually have some impact on IT application landscapes, but only a very limited impact on enterprise architectures.
This talk presents Intersection Group’s approach ”EDGY” that connects existing disciplines to enable collaborative co-design by the many true architects of the enterprise. In this approach Enterprise Architects shift more to a coaching/facilitation role connecting the dots of co-designers.
The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically altered the landscape of work, pushing knowledge workers into a predominantly remote environment and establishing a new, enduring hybrid work model. This shift has transformed workplace flexibility from a privilege to an essential right, greatly influencing personal well-being and productivity. However, the transition to hybrid work rhythm is not without its challenges. Increased remote working can potentially disrupt workflows, reduce overall efficiency, complicate onboarding processes, and fragment knowledge networks and awareness of what is going on across work units. Based on the insights from studying multiple organisations in Sweden and Norway, this talk will critically examine the dual nature of remote working—highlighting both the increased autonomy for individuals and the resultant challenges faced by software architects. Special attention will be given to effective strategies that reconcile individual flexibility with the need for team cohesion and understanding ”the big picture”. Join us to learn how to create a well-functioning hybrid rhythm that supports both personal well-being and robust group orientation
Transforming a legacy IT landscape into something more contemporary is a common challenge faced by many IT architects today. Yet, IT transformations defy straightforward solutions and often become overwhelmingly complex, ambiguous, and costly. Let’s delve into the prevalence of these wicked problems. Why do they persist? Do traditional approaches such as systematic analysis, gathering requirements, or even scaled agile serve us poorly? Join us on a transformative journey as we explore the architectural battles and celebrate the learnings from Telia’s multi-year IT transformation program.
In an increasingly interconnected world, both software systems and organizations exhibit behaviors of complex adaptive systems. This talk will explore foundational principles such as self-organized criticality, power laws, small-world networks, and emergent behaviors. Using real-world examples from software architecture and human organizations, we will see how CAS concepts can drive adaptivity and innovation. The discussion will offer valuable lessons for software engineers, quality management, and process managers, equipping them to navigate the dynamic nature of modern systems.
The business landscape is more dynamic than ever, with companies needing to respond swiftly to new opportunities and challenges. Transformations, big or small, require time, effort, and resources. From cloud migration to introducing new digital capabilities, businesses must adapt to secure future success. Yet, according to McKinsey, 70% of digital transformations fail. Why?
In this session, Manuel Albassini (SAP LeanIX), along with Roger Olsson Thörnblom and Mats Berglund (Ericsson), will explore how Enterprise Architecture is key to successful transformations.
Highlights:
• Common reasons for transformation failures and how Enterprise Architecture ensures success.
• How SAP LeanIX helps you build a strong Enterprise Architecture practice.
• Ericsson’s story of using Enterprise Architecture to drive transformation.
Once upon a time, there were architecture and architects. Then, Agile arrived: architecture and architects needed to find their place in the new world. Together with three companies in the Nordics, we explored the role of architecture and the architects in Agile. We created and evaluated, in practice, a framework, CAFFEA, clarifying responsibilities and roles for agile architects. And now, AI is taking the world by storm: are architecture and architects going through another revolution?
In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, the role of an Enterprise Architect is crucial for aligning technology with business objectives. With experience spanning finance, industry, and the public sector, Simon brings a wealth of expertise across various fields. In this talk, he will provide an overview of a typical day in the life of an Enterprise Architect, sharing personal insights into the challenges faced and some key factors for achieving success in the role. From strategic planning to hands-on problem-solving,
Keeping up with rapid changes in software projects can be challenging. Traditional documentation often struggles to keep pace, becoming quickly outdated and, in many cases, irrelevant. Enter Git-powered documentation – a seamless way to intertwine your codebase with the essential documentation it requires. In this presentation, we’ll delve deep into the advantages of writing technical documentation as markdown files stored right alongside your code in Git. Discover how this approach allows for timely updates and reviews in tandem with code alterations and during Pull Requests. Plus, get an insight into cutting-edge tools like Swimm and Docusaurus, designed specifically for ’Continuous Documentation’. And for those concerned about architectural decisions? I’ve got you covered. Learn how to efficiently document and track those crucial decisions with Architecture Decision Record (ADR) cards, with or without an IT architect. Join me for an eye-opening session on revolutionizing the way you think about, and create, technical documentation.
Few IT disciplines are associated to so many questions about its value as Enterprise Architecture; yet, almost every mid- to large-size company has an EA practice. But no matter how many times you start an ”Enterprise Architecture 2.0” project to change the focus, people or organization to improve your EA practice, the end result is often the same: stakeholders do not feel that they’re getting as much out of the practice as they wish they did. But what exactlydo they wish for, and what are the most common reasons for discontent? And, even more importantly, what can we do about it?
In this session, we walk through the building blocks of an EA operating model and discuss 7 universal dilemmas that we all face when setting up or restructuring an EA practice. Making conscious choices for each dilemma creates far better conditions to meet stakeholder expectations that otherwise often stay implicit throughout the design. We’ll go through the ifs and buts of each dilemma, how to quickly position oneself on each dilemma spectrum, and how these dilemmas can inform the design of a more successful EA practice.

- Day 2
This tutorial provides a comprehensive introduction to the concept of Enterprise Architecture (EA) debts, a critical aspect of maintaining the health and sustainability of enterprise systems. EA debts refer to the suboptimal decisions and shortcuts taken during the architectural development process that can lead to significant issues over time, much like technical debt in software engineering. The tutorial will review the current state of research, highlighting key findings and methodologies that have been developed to identify, measure, and mitigate EA debts.
Participants will engage with a cutting-edge research prototype designed to simulate and visualize EA debts. This tool transforms EA models into knowledge graphs, allowing users to interactively explore enterprise architecture smells—the detectable symptoms of underlying EA debts. Through hands-on experience with the prototype, attendees will learn to identify these architectural smells, gaining insights into how to effectively make decisions around EA debts in their own organizations. This practical approach ensures that participants leave with both a theoretical understanding and practical skills applicable to real-world scenarios.

Designing and developing machine learning (ML) enabled systems is a complex process that can be eased by leveraging effective and established design decisions that tackle the most important challenges. This knowledge is expected to lead to a good system and software architecture. We have identified, via a systematic literature review and a series of practitioner interviews, a set of common challenges, best design practices, and software architecture design decisions relevant to the creation, maintenance, and evolution of ML-enabled systems.
In this workshop we will present the results of our investigations. These best practices are categorized into: 1) system-level concerns, 2) component-level concerns, 3) system environment concerns, 4) project process, and 5) architecture process. In this workshop we will present and discuss the findings and best practices learned in each of these categories. Our goal for this workshop is to turn this categorization into an actionable design checklist that is usable by architects of ML-enabled systems in the real world.
Therefore the 3 hours of this workshop will be divided into an initial presentation of our findings and an interactive discussion on how to turn these findings into a useful and usable resource for practicing architects.
You are working very hard as an Enterprise Architect, but does it really make a difference?
Enterprise Architecture Management has been around for four decades now. Many promises were made by this discipline, yet today most enterprises still don’t have intentionally designed business and IT architectures. Enterprise Architects usually have some impact on IT application landscapes, but only a very limited impact on the business part of enterprise architectures.
In this workshop we will present game-changing patterns and tools based on the EDGY language. We discuss how they could help in your concrete cases with your concrete challenges.
You will learn how to:
● deal with common obstacles in the Enterprise Architecture practice;
● produce creations that people love to co-create;
● communicate and deal with corporate politics to build the relationships you need for collaborative design
Digital Business Ecosystem implies several distinctive features including the heterogeneity of involved actors, their interdependence in the exchange of resources, the dynamic nature of their relationships, and the need for self-organization. To successfully design and develop such ecosystems, it is essential to clearly define the business scope, delineate the roles and responsibilities of each participating company, organization and individual, map out their interactions and dependencies, and leverage a range of underlying technologies and diverse data. Furthermore, this process must include an assessment of the ecosystem’s resilience, gauging its ability to achieve its objectives in the face of challenges. This involves identifying and modeling resilience indicators to ensure the ecosystem’s capacity to adapt and thrive under changing conditions.
Innovation är inte ett projekt – det är en kontinuerlig process som kräver långsiktigt tänkande och rätt kultur. IT-arkitektur kan bli en möjliggörare för innovation genom att bygga flexibla plattformar och skapa en kultur av lärande och kreativitet. Vi diskuterar IT-arkitektens roll som coach, visionär och förändringsledare i arbetet mot en hållbar och innovationsdriven framtid.
As an architect your role is to manage the evolving complexity of your system to ensure that they create value for your end users today, but even more importantly, tomorrow. To achieve this, we, as architects, have developed tools and practices that help us in our tasks. But sometimes I wonder, is this enough? Isn’t there more to being an architect? How do we think about systems? How do we deal with increasing complexity? How do we architect in an ever evolving technological landscape where trends and technologies emerge and disappear at the blink of an eye? Join Harald on a journey through 25+ years of software development and architecting experience where we will look at some of the topics architects talk about in the bar after midnight for dealing with the eternal dilemmas of architecting.
