Your architecture isn’t failing just because of bad code! It’s being shaped by forces you aren’t even tracking: HR reward systems, "culture of coolness," and organizational silos.

In this #InfoQ talk, Vanessa Formicola introduces #HolisticEngineering - the practice of factoring the organic socio-technical problem space into your technical decisions.

Key takeaways for Architects & Leaders:
✅ How to use Social Decision Records (SDRs)
✅ Why HR policies create "Kitchen Sink" libraries
✅ Moving from "Fate" to Strategic Design

Code that drifts and projects that fail often aren’t technical failures - they’re organizational ones.

Introducing #HolisticEngineering ⇨ the practice of designing technology by understanding and shaping all the intrinsic parts of the organic system.

A holistic approach views projects as Organic #SocioTechnicalSystems, influenced by:
⇨ External forces: world events, tech trends, market shifts
⇨ Internal forces: organization, product, people, engineering
