Digital Knowledge Management for Architects

Wed, 23 April

“Humans became behaviorally modern the moment they committed to storing abstract information outside their brains.” —Lyn Wadley

As architects, we often bridge the gaps between teams and stakeholders, making us the key players in the success or failure of a system. Information constantly comes from all directions, and how we capture, organize, distill, and express this information is critical to our success. Unfortunately, while we excel at abstract thinking, our brains struggle with random recall.

In this session, we'll explore Digital Knowledge Management workflows and tools that serve as a "second brain," enabling us to store and retrieve critical information at the right time. Learn how to master the art of managing knowledge to optimize your work and improve your decision-making capabilities as an architect.

Target Audience: This session is primarily aimed at Software Architects, as it focuses on strategies to improve information management, a crucial skill for navigating complex projects and stakeholder communication. Technical Leads and Project Managers will also find value, as they too are responsible for organizing and disseminating key information across teams. OpsTech Professionals interested in improving documentation and knowledge workflows may benefit from the tools and methods discussed.
