5. Designing object models on November 12th by João Rosa & Kenny Baas-Schwelger

• Date: November 12
• Duration: 4 hours
• Schedule: 17:00 to 21:00 (Barcelona GMT +2)
• Price: 100€

What will you learn:

2. Use different visualisation techniques to create insights over the problem at hand
3. Design heuristics to guide the creation of the object models

About the Professors:

Kenny Baas-Schwelger blends IT approaches like Domain-Driven Design and Continuous Delivery with visual collaboration tools, Cynefin framework and Deep Democracy. With that socio-technical mindset, Kenny Baas-Schwegler empowers and collaboratively facilitates organisations, teams and people in designing and building sustainable quality software products. One of Kenny’s core principles is sharing knowledge. He does that by writing a blog on his website baasie.com and helping curate the Leanpub book visual collaboration tool. Besides writing he is also active in the Domain-Driven Design community as an organiser of Virtual Domain-Driven Design (virtualddd.com) and Domain Driven Design Nederland and as a public speaker is giving talks and hands-on workshops at conferences and meetups.

João Rosa is a Strategic Software Delivery Consultant at Xebia. He believes software architecture is the fine balance between tradeoffs. João focuses on helping teams and organizations to make strategic decisions regarding the software; aligning teams and software to optimize the stream-based value. He believes in the power of collaboration and is a fan of visual collaboration tools. João often speaks at international conferences.

• Schedule: 15:00 to 18:30 (Barcelona GMT + 2)
• Price: 200€

What will you learn:

1. Effective methods to evolve your architecture over time, and respond to different challenges, risks, and opportunities as they arise
2. Methods and approaches for developing a deeper understanding of the context of our architectures
3. How to apply appropriate models for making architecture decisions in different contexts
4. Practical tools to capture and communicate architecture decisions over time
5. How to influence your organization to make and follow through on architecture decisions

About the Professors:

Rebecca Wirfs-Brock is an object design pioneer who invented the set of design practices known as Responsibility-Driven Design (RDD) and by accident started the x-Driven Design meme. She authored two popular object design books that are still in print. She was the design columnist for IEEE Software. You can find her design columns, papers, and writing at www.wirfs-brock.com/Resources.html. In her work, Rebecca’s helps teams and individuals hone their design and architecture skills, manage and reduce technical debt, refactor their designs, and address architecture risks. She also teaches and conducts workshops on design heuristics, agile design skills, system qualities, and a pragmatic approach to Agile Architecture. In her spare time she jogs (even in the rain). Rebecca is program director of the Agile Alliance’s Experience Report Initiative. She serves on the Board of the Hillside Group. Recently has written about the relationship between patterns and heuristics, architecture decision-making, and patterns for creating and managing magic backlogs. If you are interested in writing about your experiences, articulating your design heuristics more effectively, or sharing your wisdom in pattern form, contact Rebecca. She can help you turn your itch for writing into the written word.

Ken Power works with technology organizations around the world. His focus is the intersection of product development, strategy, architecture, leadership, and software engineering culture. He is a leading expert on the practical application of sensemaking and complex adaptive systems approaches to improving agility and product development flow in software engineering organizations. He has held multiple technical and leadership positions in organizations, ranging from start-ups to Fortune 100 companies. He has lead multiple large global organization transformations. He holds patents in virtualization and network management. Ken also works with the National University of Ireland Galway, where he lectures on strategy & planning, systems analysis & design, and large-scale transformation. He is a research associate with Lero, the Irish Software Research Centre. His Ph.D. research thesis “Improving flow in large software product development organizations: A sensemaking and complex adaptive systems perspective” explores how managers and leaders in organizations deal with the continuous challenges that impact how they deliver value to their customers. He has authored more than 35 peer-reviewed publications on software engineering topics, including winning the IEEE Software best paper award. Topics include software architecture, agile and lean development, sensemaking, decision-making, AI, and management of software development organizations. He is a speaker at leading international conferences on architecture, software engineering, agile, and lean product development, and regularly serves as a conference organizer and program committee member. He was co-editor of the 2019 IEEE Software special issue on Large-Scale Agile Development. He is a reviewer for top-tier publications, including IEEE Software, IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, and Journal of Systems and Software.
