In a world of rapid changes and increasing uncertainties, organisations have to continuously adapt and evolve to remain competitive and excel in the market. In such a dynamic business landscape organisations need to design for adaptability.

Combining different perspectives and techniques from business strategy (Wardley Mapping), software architecture and design (Domain-Driven Design), and team organisation (Team Topologies) provides a powerful toolset to design, build and evolve adaptive systems for a fast flow of change.

This talk illustrates the concepts, connects the dots between these three perspectives, and demonstrates how these techniques help to evolve a fictitious legacy system for a fast flow of change.

The journey describes the approach to evolve:

* From functional silo teams to cross-functional autonomous stream-aligned teams and platform teams
* From a monolithic big ball of mud to a modular, loosely coupled system
* From running on-premises infrastructure to cloud-hosted services
