Next talk from #amaberlin is online: Ana Nad & Lejla Vulović discuss real-world challenges managing multi-site banking product teams. Watch: youtu.be/UTMRMfnuGgw

The talk's tl;dr is that trying to optimise team performance via DDD, agile, Team Topologies, and all of the other socio-technical techniques will fail if you don't have good technical foundations in place. The backlash against architecture is real, but the technical leadership role never went away.
