For scale-up companies
Enable change in your code and organisation – leverage your business with architecture modernization!
At some point, most companies need to change to grow and reach new levels of business ambition, either from a state of temporary struggles, because of large problems on the horizon or from starting up and being ready to scale up. An architecture modernization might be needed.
You don’t need the whole picture, you need direction
Going fast is pointless if you don’t know where you’re going. Your architectural vision should support your strategy, guide decision-making, and only consist of a few high-level principles and foundational ideas for the architecture and where it should take you. Then you need to act!
Keep what brings value
A hot topic is what to keep and what to replace, both in terms of code and organisation. It might be genuinely tempting to throw out everything and start over. The focus too often falls on the technology itself: "Is this code any good?" "Is this framework supported?" "Does this architecture perform?" There is a time for that, but in transformative moments, the focus should be on value!
Think big, act small
The common approach is to launch significant change projects, aiming to replace, update or introduce whole systems. Instead, we propose a route that allows you to leverage your business value while improving your software for speed, quality, and longevity. Focus on the bottleneck! Identify the bottleneck in the software and organisation that hinders a fast and sustainable transformation and solve it, then identify the next one and solve that, and so on. All while gradually reinforcing the ability to accelerate your software delivery.
