Fri 4 Apr 2025 09:00 - 10:00 at Main Hall (O100) - keynote 3 Chair(s): Jens Bæk Jørgensen

This talk builds on the lessons learned at a large Scandinavian e-commerce business about how an emergent approach to architecture, hand-in-hand with the introduction of disciplined agile ways of working, can be instrumental in supporting a development organization going through rapid growth while facing increasing business demands. In the span of a few years, we managed to - 5x the number of developers and - crucially - also scale up productivity equally - Introduce continuous delivery with the QA and automation rigor required to do so safely - Lift’n’shift off out-of-support on-prem services to a public cloud - Introduce a modern microservices architecture and move over 50% of the development work into the modern architecture - Deliver numerous large business initiatives and leverage them to accelerate the modernization What made this possible was a coordinated push towards modernizing the development organization, modernizing the ways-of-working, and modernizing the architecture. The coordination between these three dimensions of modernization was crucial, and none could have succeeded alone. The talk explores the interplay of organization, ways-of-working, and architecture and tells the story of how we reached our goals.
