In an interview with James Lewis, Susanne Kaiser discusses her book "Architecture for Flow," which synthesizes Domain-Driven Design, Wardley Mapping, and Team Topologies. She explains how this holistic approach helps design adaptive socio-technical systems by starting with the problem space, visualizing the value chain, and aligning team structures to the software architecture, all guided by her practical "Architecture for Flow Canvas."
