What’s the biggest challenge in a complex system re-architecture? Is it defining the strategy, crafting the roadmap, or managing engineering efforts? While these are critical, one often overlooked factor can make or break the entire initiative: getting buy-in from your stakeholders.

In this talk, I’ll highlight how securing strong stakeholder support transforms the impact of your architecture projects. Using a real-world story from our startup’s acquisition and rapid scale-up, I’ll illustrate how aligning and engaging stakeholders early and often helped us navigate high-stakes re-architecture under intense pressure.
When your system begins to falter under scaling demands, you need more than a solid plan – you need champions across the organization. When stakeholders are committed, re-architecture becomes a collaborative effort with greater influence, faster buy-in, and ultimately, a more successful outcome.
Join me to see how prioritizing stakeholder engagement elevates your architecture work from a technical project to a strategic organization-wide change – making your projects not only successful but impactful.
