In today’s rapidly evolving tech landscape, centralised architectural decision-making can become a bottleneck to delivery performance and innovation. Through stories from our own journey, we’ll share how decentralising decisions improved alignment across teams, empowered faster decision-making, and fostered a culture of ownership. We'll share lessons learned implementing lightweight governance, defining clear architectural guardrails through architectural principles, and the tools to support decentralised decisions.
