When we were designing the workshop, I said to Gien that I like the idea of a puzzle, and it would be great to have it large and always visible, but how can we do that when there are a number of exercises? In this exercise, teams break up the large domain into sub-domains. The ability to design exercises in Miro is out of this world.

How to assess an environment’s security posture, risk and threat profile, and possible attack vectors, where perhaps you didn’t code the application or build the infrastructure, and where new code is deployed frequently, and the infrastructure is constantly changing? And this poses a significant risk. Showing a list of key processes.

Early on, business technology was mostly large-scale labor-saving data processing. It wasn't until the 1950s (well, more accurately, the rise of COBOL in the 1960s) that we really started capturing business workflows in code. It went unnoticed because their knowledge was captured in code, and the developers knew the code.

So, software is a part of a greater whole, and typically multiple generations of technologies must coexist peacefully and purposefully to provide a viable service. This is mixing concerns and leads to code that becomes strongly coupled, monolithic, hard to write, hard to read, hard to evolve, hard to test, and hard to reuse.
