How cognitive biases and ranking can foster an ineffective architecture and design @ Modern Software architecture 2022

Join Kenny Bass Schwegler, and Evelyn Van Kelle in this talk where they will interactively explore how we can improve our facilitation skills and focus on neuro-inclusiveness with Lewis Deep Democracy (LDD). By having a Deep Democratic discussions together on what biases are at play during liberating structures workshops, and how ranking will effect a visual collaborative modelling session like EventStorming and User Story Mapping, you will gain first-hand experience about LDD. With this experience, they will explain how they embedded LDD in their design processes. In their discussion they will let you leave with the knowledge on how to observe sabotage behaviour, battle oppression, and to create safety in exploring alternative perceptions. They will show you how you can really let the group say what needs to be said and take a collective autocratic decision in designing your software models.

  1. @EelynvanKelle @kenny_baas How cognitive biases and ranking can foster an

    ineffective architecture and design Kenny Baas-Schwegler & Evelyn van Kelle @EvelynvanKelle @kenny_baas

    Complexity: When things go bad, endure and observe what you can change, and probe! don’t go chasing a happy to-be situation
  3. @EelynvanKelle @kenny_baas @EvelynvanKelle @kenny_baas Investments in technology are also investments

    in people, and these investments will make our technology process more sustainable Nicole Forsgren
  4. @EelynvanKelle @kenny_baas @EvelynvanKelle @kenny_baas If you design a monolith or

    part of a software landscape without boundaries or the wrong boundaries, you just architected an open office space for software teams.
  5. @EvelynvanKelle @kenny_baas “Architectural design is system design. System design is

    contextual design — it is inherently about boundaries (what’s in, and what’s out, what spans, what moves between), and about tradeoffs.” —Ruth Malan
  6. @EvelynvanKelle @kenny_baas “If the architecture of the system and the

    architecture of the organization are at odds, the architecture of the organization wins” —Ruth Malan
  7. @EelynvanKelle @kenny_baas @EvelynvanKelle @kenny_baas Visual and Collaborative modelling is a

    practice of using requirement analysis and modelling techniques to create a shared understanding.
  8. @EelynvanKelle @kenny_baas @EvelynvanKelle @kenny_baas Ensuring flow in meetings How to

    make sure everyone said what has to be said? How can we create and include new insights? Who decides on the architecture? How to get everyone on board on the decision? Who to invite? How to deal with issues that keep cycling back? Photo by Mike Lewis HeadSmart Media on Unsplash

    we create and include new insights? Photo by Mike Lewis HeadSmart Media on Unsplash

    on the architecture? How to get everyone on board on the decision? Who to invite? Photo by Mike Lewis HeadSmart Media on Unsplash
  15. @EvelynvanKelle @kenny_baas Discussion Dialogue Actions, thinking fast Insights, thinking slow

    Convince, take a stand Understanding, listen Think against other (yes, but..) Think together with others (Yes, and…) Answer are central The questions are central Attack and defence Investigate and check Opinions and arguments Principles, values and norms Judgement postpone judgment Finding solutions find the underlying reason Risk: false consensus, powerplay Risk: responsible abstraction, woolly

    “We must be able to identify all the parts in a system and allow them to speak. All the parts in a group, even those we do not like or believe to be useless, must be present and supported.” - Arnold Mindell

    Who to invite is about thinking in perceptions instead of people. Invite especially people with annoying perceptions.

  20. @EvelynvanKelle @kenny_baas 1. Gain all views 2. Make it safe

    to to say alternative views 3. Spread the why ----- VOTE ---- 4. Ask: What would it take for you to go along? Deep Democracy the lewis method steps
  21. @EvelynvanKelle @kenny_baas 1. Idea: You have an idea, but nothing

    is certain 2. Suggestion: You have a clear intention, but other insights are more than welcome 3. Proposal: You have a concretely worked out proposal. Only serious objections can influence the decision 4. Command: Decision is made, what does it take for you to go along? How much space do you give?

    Who decides on the architecture? How to get everyone on board on the decision? Who to invite? Use the Deep Democracy the lewis method steps. Be clear on how much power people have on decision making. Photo by Mike Lewis HeadSmart Media on Unsplash

    Ensuring flow in meetings Create awareness of people their ranks in the group Own, play and share your rank Be aware and make explicit the biases at play Use Deep Democracy the lewis method in your decision making Start managing polarities with the group by using polarity mapping Photo by Mike Lewis HeadSmart Media on Unsplash
