Do the teams you work on have an “elite few” that are looked to for making technology decisions?
Are there times you wish people would work together more to drive software architecture?
In today’s episode I share both good, and bad experiences I’ve had with team structures that effect software architecture.

Included are some tips I’ve found useful over my career to speed up the rate of adopting new technologies as part of your product’s stack – and making it everyone’s job.
