They need to know not just what to build today, but what the system should look like in the near future. Generally, the goal of the system is a bit of mirage, with blurry edges. Each of us have an idea of what it is we are building, is it the same idea? Sharing knowledge effectively is hard, in this talk I will present a technique called Bytesize Architecture Sessions. It is a workshop format that improves knowledge sharing of systems. Some of the benefits of Bytesize Architecture Sessions are: • Improved systems thinking • Enriching collaboration within the team • Understanding architecture practices and tools in a safe environment • A feedback loop controlled by the team that produces better documentation across sessions • Revealing the Bermuda Triangles!
