Zsófia Herendi and I will be running a hands-on lab at DDD Europe in Antwerp on June 12.
The premise: you can't design teams without understanding how the business creates value.
We'll connect Business Model Canvas to Team Interaction Modeling. Practical heuristics. Real design work.
This is not a slideshow. A lab where you will share insights with others!
Engineering Leadership Playbook: Build Systems That Scale 🚀 #EngineeringLeadership #SystemDesign #TechLeadership
Most engineering teams don’t fail because of weak engineers—they fail because of broken systems, unclear ownership, and poor architecture decisions. This deep dive breaks down how elite engineering leaders design scalable systems, reduce friction, and build high-performance teams that ship consistently without burnout. #TechLeadership #SoftwareArchitecture #DevOps #EngineeringManagement #ScalableSystems #Leadership
Considerations on cognitive load and organisational structure in sociotechnical systems.
A blog by Martijn Ras
In this article we present our rule of thumb for the sizing of solutions based on what an organisation can handle. Our primary goal is to make you aware of cognitive load theory and sociological considerations on organisational structure. Be...

You can't design teams and software without understanding how value flows through the business.
My new case study: an e-learning SaaS company used DDD principles and practices to move from a Big Ball of Mud to domain-oriented teams.
The customer onboarding went from 60 days to 20 minutes. Cloud costs dropped 80%.
But the story doesn't end here. Read the full case study: https://joaorosa.consulting/services/organization-transformation/scaling-a-corporate-e-learning-saas-platform/
This is just one lesson in a broader course on modern ways of working — covering how teams can move faster, deliver better, and reduce friction that holds progress back.

Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later.
We've known this since Fred Brooks wrote it in 1975—the opening sentence is a direct quote. Yet many projects still try to add people to meet deadlines, and it fails.
Even skilled developers need ramp-up time, during which they reduce the team's productivity.
I wrote about why this happens and what actually works: https://factor10.com/news/why-is-it-so-hard-to-optimise-software-delivery-under-stress/

Your Org Is Your Architecture #EngineeringLeadership #TechLeadership #SoftwareEngineering #SystemDesign #DevOps
Most engineering teams don’t fail because of bad code—they fail because of bad structure. If your teams are slow, your architecture is slow. If your ownership is unclear, your systems will break. This is the playbook for building engineering organizations that scale without chaos, burnout, or bottlenecks. Learn how to design teams, ownership, execution, and platforms like top-tier engineering leaders. #Leadership #EngineeringManagement #ScalableSystems #TechStrategy #PlatformEngineering #SRE #Microservices #DeveloperProductivity #Agile #DigitalTransformation
Operations is not a project. Security is not a project. Reliability does not have an end date.
Timo Böhm's Ignite at DevOpsDays Zürich 2026: kill the project, build a team.
Stop squeezing capabilities into Gantt charts with budget caps and end dates. Start building long-lived, capable teams instead.

The advice process doesn't give you worse decisions. It shows you the conversations you were never having.
