For example, security concerns and unreliability becoming commonplace, like the recent Southwest Airlines scheduling crisis caused by a decades-old scheduling system. Architecture modernization initiatives aim to convert aging architecture into modern architecture, applying the latest tech innovations and architectural patterns.

One of the challenges I see regularly is inertia following domain discovery workshops. Some complexity we embrace because there is an opportunity to differentiate, whereas some complexity is providing little or no value and is simply making our systems more complex and expensive to maintain. It’s also possible to exchange complexity.

The figure below shows the typical life-cycle of an architecture modernization initiative, including commonly observed points where we have observed AMET formation. Their technology landscape has a high level of what they consider to be legacy or heritage systems — monolithic systems with tens or hundreds of developers working in them.

Most companies have their own language for talking about products, platforms, systems, value streams and so on. Not all parts of a system are considered to be part of a product. I’ve been using the Lean Innovation Portfolio for years. The final column, Responsibilities , captures the parts of the system that each team owns.

The system needs to be highly reliable because even just a little downtime can alienate loyal customers. The Nature of Evolution New innovations often become the platform for future innovations. Since then, Google Maps has become the foundation for many other innovations after being opened up to developers via APIs.
