Why teams need a technical vision
On This Lesson 4 topics
This lesson is planned. The outline below lists the topics it will cover. The full lesson has not been published yet.
In this lesson
show that 25 teams with no shared picture of the future make locally sensible, globally conflicting choices.
Planned topics
- A vision describes the future state: where engineering is going and what will be true when it gets there.
- Without one, each team optimizes for its own quarter and the architecture drifts.
- A good vision settles recurring arguments before they start ("do we build or adopt?").
- You have no authority to order 25 teams; a vision people choose to follow is your main tool.
