#16 - Architecture without architects

Geert and Rene challenge traditional views on software architecture, advocating for a more inclusive and agile approach

In this episode, Geert and Rene talk about the role of architects in software development, challenging traditional views and advocating for a more dynamic and inclusive approach.

They discuss the concept of "architecture without architects," emphasizing collective team ownership and hands-on experience for making informed architectural decisions. The conversation highlights the shift towards agile practices and continuous architectural decision-making within autonomous teams, facilitated by tools like Architecture Decision Records (ADRs). They also explore the organizational implications, suggesting a move towards flatter structures to promote inclusive architectural discussions.

About LEAD Podcast

We think software & it plays an important role in every company. Software is eating the world and companies need to adopt to this to survive.

In this podcast we want to share stories of successful people/companies, industry leaders & influencers for others to learn from.
Being a great software company means more than just having a great software architecture & cloud infrastructure (although this is part of it). In this podcast we want to focus on all things related building a successful software company, from people, process, technology & tools to culture
The world is still running on excel sheets and we’re scared of that. Let’s help every company improve in the way they run their digital business by sharing knowledge of how others did this. Every week a new guest, with expertise on a certain area of engineering cultures, will join hosts Geert &Rene to talk about this and to share their stories, journeys, learnings & pitfalls.
