When attempting to modernize an existing system, you need to build up an understanding of how the business works and the complexities of the existing system in order to answer questions such as:
- Where do we start?
- What are the pain points and risks associated with the existing system?
- How can we incrementally modernize the system?
It often involves working with different teams, and different services that fulfil the capability to the user and understanding the current state so we have a place to start.
In this talk, I’ll share with you some of the methods I’ve been using such as Service Blueprints, Wardley Mapping, and Architecture/Product Decision Tracking Framework to get buy-in collaboratively.
