Renovate to Innovate: Fundamentals of transforming legacy architecture

Abstract

Renovating old buildings and homes is commonplace, but why is technological
renovation often overlooked? Just like a big home renovation adds to the quality of
life, a successful architectural renovation has an outsized impact on the pace of
innovation. Yet, why are software migrations perceived negatively? Frequently, it
stems from past encounters with projects that were disruptive, costly, and executed
poorly. In this talk, I outline my learnings on gracefully outgrowing technology and
architectural choices, based on my experience.
You'll leave this session equipped with cognitive frameworks for evaluating
architectural health and tactics to overcome common hurdles to transforming legacy
architecture. I share battle-tested strategies for successfully navigating a ground-up
architectural revamp to unlock innovation and enhance business value.

Audience

Mid to Senior engineers, Entry-Mid level and Middle Management Leaders

 

The intended audience for my talk comprises individuals in technical organizations
who hold significant decision-making roles. These are individuals capable of shaping
and guiding the technical trajectory of the organization and making course
corrections when needed. The strategies I present for modernizing legacy
architecture and achieving success in substantial initiatives like these are especially
pertinent for engineers ranging from senior to staff levels, as well as early to middle
management leaders.

Key Takeaways / Learning Objectives
1. Evaluate the architectural health of software systems
2. Identify and solve hurdles to transforming legacy architecture
3. Recognize strategies for a successful software architectural overhaul
