Architecture Weekly #71 - 18th April 2022

Welcome to the new week.

Agile is great, collaboration even better, workshop techniques like Event Storming are enabling a lot, and pair coding brings insights. Yet! There is a group of people that are too often ignored in those techniques assumptions: INTROVERTS. I’m an introvert, and I wrote my thoughts about that issue in my latest article and thoughts on how that could be improved. Read more: Agile vs Introverts.

p.s. Ukraine is still under brutal Russian invasion. A lot of Ukrainian people are hurt, without shelter and need help. You can help in various ways, for instance, directly helping refugees, spreading awareness, and putting pressure on your local government or companies. You can also support Ukraine by donating, e.g. to Red Cross, the Ukraine humanitarian organisation. You may also consider joining Tech for Ukraine initiative.
