Susanne Kaiser discusses her book 'Architecture for Flow', which integrates Domain-Driven Design, Wardley Mapping, and Team Topologies into a holistic framework for designing adaptive sociotechnical systems. She explains how these three pillars complement each other: Wardley Maps visualize the business landscape and value chains, DDD decomposes systems into bounded contexts, and Team Topologies aligns team structures with those contexts. The conversation covers context mapping for understanding team dependencies and change coupling, the Architecture for Flow canvas as a structured workshop approach, and the importance of starting with problem space and user needs before jumping to solutions. Key themes include identifying flow blockers, applying Theory of Constraints, and enabling teams to own their architectural decisions.
