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,

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.

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.

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 Traditional documentation often struggles to keep pace, becoming quickly outdated and, in many cases, irrelevant.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.

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.
