What you'll learn

What you'll learn

Learn how to frame change with intent, reduce organisational resistance, and plan for evolution rather than a fixed end state. You’ll see where Agile helps and where it hinders, define what the business truly needs from its software, and clarify the architect’s role in turning strategy into delivery. You’ll understand when microservices add speed, how loose coupling increases resilience and autonomy, and how metadata-driven services let teams ship behaviour changes without heavy releases. Finally, you’ll bring these principles together into a practical approach you can apply across OTT, streaming and digital publishing platforms.

What's included

What's included

Inside the eBook, we explore why change is constant and how to respond with intent, the psychology of change and reducing resistance, and why planning for evolution beats a brittle end state. We cover where Agile helps and where it hinders, what the business needs from its software, the architect’s role, when microservices add speed, the value of loose coupling and metadata-driven services, learning safely from failure, and a practical blueprint to put it all together.
