Code Contribution models: Domain Level

  • Within a single domain - with high degrees of alignment in terms of practices and technology - it can be quite reasonable for teams to contribute code across team boundaries, with a type of collective code ownership extending to the whole domain.
  • Custodianship of each system should still be clearly understood, usually best kept within one team.
  • At a vertical level, it is common for code contribution to happen across systems, e.g. pull requests in source control - with only small amounts of delay and re-work required.

Technology Choices: Vertical(Weakened Force)

  • At a vertical level, there would be a slightly larger set of agreed technology choices, to cater for the differing needs of the multiple domains.
  • It is beneficial for the vertical to be able to move people closer to high priority work, so keeping aligned on technology is important he...

Shared Code And Infrastructure: Domain (strong force)

  • Within a single domain, even across 3-5 teams, we should have high bandwidth communication and a short distance to empowered leadership.
  • This means that when a change needs to be made to shared code or infrastructure, we can quickly inform and prepare for the changes.
  • The cou...

Technology Choices: Domain (strong force)

  • Within a single domain, there should be a small set of technology choices agreed upon.

Within A Domain: Strong Forces

Within a domain we have multiple teams, each being responsible for some capabilities and underlying systems within the domain.

Sometimes this is perfectly aligned, with each team being custodians of a neatly bounded set of systems. More often this is imperfect in reality, with custodi...

Shared Code And Infrastructure: Whole of Org (weak force)

Shared code at a whole of organisation level is limited to highly stable, highly useful things. Mostly these things are limited to libraries which can be distributed and versioned, and changed carefully.

Shared infrastructure is similar - at an org-wide level, shared infrastructure must hav...

Code Contribution models: Whole of Org (weak force)

  • At the whole of org level, it is often quite difficult (and sometimes harmful) to effectively manage contributions that cross verticals.
  • This is particularly true where systems are complex in nature, highly critical or sensitive in terms of accuracy, performance, privacy and complian...

Technology Choices: Whole of Org (weak force)

Whole Of Organization: Weak Forces

When we zoom out to all of the organisation - the force of alignment between the verticals is very weak indeed. It is quite hard to make changes atomically across the landscape - mostly because the prioritisation of work for each vertical is deliberately independent.

One Size Fits All Approach

Technology governance and what is considered ‘good architecture’ is mostly considered with a ‘one size fits all’ approach.

Within A Vertical: Weakened Forces

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
