๐ŸŽฏ The 3 Questions That Make or Break Your Architecture Effort

Most architecture efforts fail before a single diagram is drawn โ€” and Iโ€™ve made that mistake myself.

In this video, I break down the three foundational questions you must ask before diving into any technical design. Whether you're working on system architecture, solution design, or just scoping a feature, skipping these will cost you time, clarity, and stakeholder buy-in.

โœ… Learn:

  • Why architecture efforts often start too technical, too early
  • The 3 simple questions that drive real alignment
  • A real-world mistake that taught me this the hard way
  • How the Quick Technical Architecture Method (QTAM) and Architecture Work Canvas can keep your efforts grounded in value and clarity

If your architecture work struggles to get traction with product owners, business stakeholders, or even fellow engineers โ€” this is for you.
