PANEL: Bridging the Gap
Software is changing our world – and the speed of change is increasing. Continously evolving business demands, software technology advances, and social changes mean that gaps can quickly arise between the actual state of a software and its desired state. Not reacting to these gaps can lead to software no longer being competitive or marketable. Reacting too quickly can lead to software becoming “immature” with corresponding negative business impact. Bridging the gaps is not easy and requires thoughtful action, and it is a constant balancing act software development teams are facing in their daily work. In this panel, we will look at the market, technical, social, and economic factors that can lead to gaps in software products and discuss how we can close them sufficiently well.

Gregor Hohpe helps technology leaders transform both their organization and their technology platform. You’ll find him riding the Architect Elevator from the engine room to the penthouse, perhaps automating serverless solutions in the morning and preparing board presentations in the afternoon. His favorite pastime is dissecting buzzwords and replacing them with meaningful decisions and architectural trade-offs.
