As Donella Meadows said, "Systems happen all at once." This is why modelling is such an effective tool for both individual thinking and collaborative problem-solving. Whilst learning to model can initially seem daunting, it’s a valuable skill to acquire. Let's demystify it!

In this workshop you'll learn to model a system using C4. This modelling technique is a staple of software architecture as it's relatively easy to learn and extremely powerful. C4 focuses on modelling at different abstraction levels.

We'll drive the workshop with Bytesize Architecture Sessions.

People building a system need to have a high level of shared knowledge. They need to know not just what to build today, but what the system should look like in the near future. Generally, the goal of the system is a bit of mirage, with blurry edges. Each of us have an idea of what it is we are building, is it the same idea?

Sharing knowledge effectively is hard, in this talk I will present a technique called Bytesize Architecture Sessions. It is a workshop format that improves knowledge sharing of systems.

Some of the benefits of Bytesize Architecture Sessions are:

• Improved systems thinking
• Enriching collaboration within the team
• Understanding architecture practices and tools in a safe environment
• A feedback loop controlled by the team that produces better documentation across sessions
• Revealing the Bermuda Triangles!
