The PM Who Ships Code: When Building Is the Research
Most PM discourse draws a hard line: PMs shouldn't code. But when you're the only person on the team, building is user research, domain modelling, and competitive analysis compressed into the same motion.
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/

AI Guardrails Are Just the Documentation We Refused to Write for Humans
The enterprise AI rush is exposing a decade of organizational debt. AI guardrails are explicit context, strict boundaries, and unified taxonomies โ the exact documentation we should have had all along.

Is your architecture really the problemโฆ or is it communication? ๐ค In this #SAG2025 expert interview, Golo Roden dives into the trade-offs between #CRUD, #EventSourcing, and #DomainDrivenDesign โ and reveals why many teams struggle not because of technology, but because they donโt truly understand their domain.

One worth trying: before committing to any design decision, ask "What would make this conversation a waste of time?" It forces the group to surface the assumptions underneath the debate before spending forty minutes on the wrong question.

Why Raw RICE Fails on Internal Platforms
RICE still works as a shared prioritisation language. On internal platforms, the failure starts when teams treat raw reach math as the answer instead of adding a domain-risk pass and documenting the rationale.

Domain Bugs Cost More Than Code Bugs
Domain-Driven Design, ubiquitous language, and bounded contexts matter because product teams ship the wrong workflow when legal, product, and engineering mean different things by the same word.
