This week, we look at the last chapter in Building Evolutionary Architectures: Support Constant Change, chapter 8 Putting Evolutionary Architecture into Practice.

This chapter is largely about creating the right incentives for teams to build evolutionary architectures. In fact, they probably sound pretty familiar.

  • Use cross-functional teams
  • Focus on products, not projects
  • Align teams and work to deliver business value

Next week I'll be back with my reflections on the book as a whole.

Then in January the final season of Reading Notes will begin as we discuss Code That Fits in Your Head: Heuristics for Software Engineering by Mark Seemann. You can pick up a copy of the book on Amazon

Until next time happy reading!
