Track 1

Under den här workshopen får du möjlighet att jobba med ditt gränssnitt, tydliggöra och identifiera den samt lära dig om konsekvenserna av att leva med tydlighet versus otydlighet. Arbetet kommer att involvera dig att göra en analys av ditt nuläge samt ringa eventuella nästa steg.

Vi på Sandahls fokuserar på våra partners mål och leverans. Vi använder vår gedigna kunskap och erfarenhet om hur människor fungerar i organisation för att våra partners ska kunna nå, eller till och med överträffa, sina mål. Vi tränar ledare och medarbetar på att ta roll för att möjliggöra samarbete och utveckling i komplexa sammanhang. Sandahl Partners bygger sina träningar på en gedigen forskningsgrund och fyrtio års erfarenhet av organisationer och organiserande.

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

I en miljö med hög förändringstakt är gränssnittet (rollen) en avgörande del för människan. Det avgör om vår energi bidrar till hög prestation, kreativitet och hållbarhet.

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

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.

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
