How things used to be
In the IT industry, there was always someone who said what to build, that is, the department. The latter only had to formulate requirements. Dividing tasks in this way no longer works today because the requirements are often unknown. The understanding of the impact of digital potential on user needs, business and the related expectations vary widely today. Digital transformationprojects are innovative by nature. These projects require greater design skills that complement the perspective of technology, business and people. The architecture role, which is known from other industries and is responsible for designing solutions and developing requirements together with the implementation team, is often missing.
