This travelogue describes lessons learned of a Solution Architect on the journey through teams, ARTs, business departments, stakeholders and management when turning the company’s ideas and requirements into a new product for our customers.
Transformation consumes a lot of the available teams’ capacity and is still ongoing at Porsche oscillating wildly between rabbit speed and turtle performance. Nevertheless, new products need to be built making use of the existing ecosystem, deal with unimagined complexity and re-transform already transformed segments which turn out as obstacles.
In this presentation I will explain:
- My daily action items as a Solution Architect
- What is needed to deliver a product in a transformed organization
- My personal lessons learned and pitfalls to prepare you for your company’s latest ideas and requirements
