Back by popular demand, for our March meetup, we’re hosting an Architecture Kata. Join us for this session and get the chance to flex your software architectural design muscles!

What’s the format?
You’ll be split into groups and have a business problem to solve. You’ll be tasked with designing a technical architecture to meet that problem context.

As with real-life you’ll have to manage various trade-offs in your design and interact with a Product Owner to clarify your questions.

At the end of the task you will showcase your architecture and technology choices back to the wider group as part of a group discussion and you’ll be able to decide if you’d make any decisions differently after receiving feedback and seeing what other groups designed.

This session is all about collaborative learning, skill enhancement and networking in a relaxed environment. You don’t need to be experienced in designing software architecture or a software architect to participate.

This is an excellent opportunity to try out Software Architecture in a collaborative, supportive and fun environment.

Food and Drinks
Pizza and drinks will be provided upon arrival, with vegetarian, gluten free and vegan options available.

Want to bring a friend? Great! Just ask them to RSVP so we know they are coming.

No need to bring your laptop this time, we will provide pens, paper and post-its for each group.

Sponsors
This meetup would not be possible without the support of The Bradfield Centre who provide their amazing space and Codurance, the global software engineering consultancy and founders of the Software Crafters communities.
