Okay, your IT landscape. It's complicated. Probably too complicated. Does anyone really know what connects to what? Making big bets without that picture seems... unwise. So, Enterprise Architecture tools promise clarity, a map through the jungle. But wait - haven't we heard that before? Are these tools just creating fancy diagrams nobody looks at, or can they genuinely help build situational awareness? Mohammed Brückner looked into this, comparing the classics like Sparx EA with newer stuff like LeanIX. What actually matters for getting value? Is it the boxes and lines, or something about collaboration and focusing on what people need to do? Let's figure out if EA tools are anchors or engines for adaptability.This episode is presented by platformeconomies.com - and if you are interested in matters of architecture, make sure to get my book on IT Architecture today: https://itbookhub.com/

Focus or Fail - the truth about developer productivity
You think you're being productive by handling a zillion things at once? Think again. We're going to look at why multitasking in software development is like, well, juggling chainsaws. It's messy, it's dangerous, and someone's going to get hurt. We'll touch on a better way- a way that might actually get things done. Forget the fluffy "values"- let's talk about real action and real results.This episode is presented by platformeconomies.com - and if you are interested in matters of architecture, make sure to get my book on IT Architecture today: https://itbookhub.com/

Microsoft Fabric - talking about merits!
This episode breaks down Brückner's take on selling (and understanding) Fabric- listen to your customers, show them the shortcuts, and leverage what they already use (hello, Power BI!). Forget one-size-fits-all- executives, IT pros, and Power BI users need different strokes. The real kicker? Clean up your data mess now, or get left behind in the AI gold rush. Fabric might be the answer, but only if you face your data demons. Are you ready to act, or will you be paralyzed by the speed of change?This episode is presented by platformeconomies.com - and if you are interested in matters of architecture, make sure to get my book on IT Architecture today: https://itbookhub.com/

Enterprise Architecture - Dead or Just Resting?
Is Enterprise Architecture (EA) past its prime? Has it become the corporate equivalent of that dusty treadmill in the spare room? Mohammed Brückner over at Micro Musings thinks maybe so - or maybe it just needs a serious reboot. He's seeing three kinds of Enterprise Architects out there, and only one is truly set up for the future.We're talking about ditching the ivory tower and getting down to brass tacks - delivering real business value. Think products, not projects. Think customers, not committees. It's a whole new world, and your old EA playbook might just be holding you back.This episode is presented by platformeconomies.com - and if you are interested in matters of architecture, make sure to get my book on IT Architecture today: https://a.co/d/gK7YzOL (US) / https://amzn.to/3OkwqE9 (DE)

IT's Wild Ride- From Hero to Zero and Back Again (Maybe)
Remember when IT was the coolest kid on the block- back in the go-go '90s? Innovation was the name of the game. Then- poof- the dot-com bubble burst, and suddenly IT was just an expense to be slashed. Cloud computing promised a comeback tour, but those old legacy systems and that sneaky "shadow IT" are still hanging around. Now, the numbers paint a… complicated picture. IT is both a cost and a supposed value creator. What's a company to do? We'll chew on the need to balance innovation with keeping the lights on, the power of good metrics, architectures that don't suck, and, of course, getting the right people on the bus.This episode is presented by platformeconomies.com - and if you are interested in matters of architecture, make sure to get my book on IT Architecture today: https://a.co/d/gK7YzOL (US) / https://amzn.to/3OkwqE9 (DE)
