Call to action, attendees of flowcon.io/ and anyone having a good idea 💡

I am looking for** interesting problems, goals** which can be used for the Impact Mapping workshop.
The method works with any kind of goals of a company or a team or personal. The example should be one around product development and it should be easy to relate to.

I usually describe an imaginary company and problem but why only because I need some time to prepare everything.

Speaker Krisztina Hirth Staff Architect at PayFit 1-2 April 2025, Paris Impact Mapping Workshp "Impact mapping is a lightweight, collaborative planning technique for teams that want to make a big impact with software products. It is based on user interaction design, outcome-driven planning and mind mapping. Impact maps help delivery teams and stakeholders visualise roadmaps, explain how deliverables connect to user needs and communicate how user outcomes relate to higher-level organisational goals." (source: https://www.impactmapping.org/) Impact Mapping is a unique technique (described in a book by Gojko Adzic) which enables every organisation or team facing a new problem, a new challenge to not only find unexpected ideas but also to make sure that these ideas address those challenges instead of fulfilling other interests. By following the steps, Impact Mapping helps find ways to experiment, innovate, and compare possible ideas by focusing on the outcome rather than the output. It gives the group the means to verify the progress the whole time - to fail fast or stop investing because they have reached their goal. In this workshop, we will discuss and map a fictive problem. At the end of the workshop, you will know how the technique works and when to use it, how much fun such Impact Mapping can be and how creative people are when the only constraint is time :)

Product vs Tech: The Endless Battlefield

The war between Product & Engineering? It's not inevitable. It's a choice. A choice to overload engineers with business problems instead of letting them solve technical ones. A choice to force cross-functional teams without aligning timelines.

And the result?
❌ Slow product development
❌ Fragile systems
❌ Burnt-out engineers
❌ Sky-high costs

We tell engineers to "understand the business".
But we never ask business to "understand engineering".

We train engineers to sell priorities instead of owning their craft.
Software development becomes a negotiation instead of an engineering discipline.

And then we wonder why systems rot. 🤦‍♂️

"You Build It, You Run It".
"You Code It, You Ship It".

Buzzwords that actually mean:
🤑 "You Do Everything, We Cut Costs."

Would you hire an musician to cook, clean, and build your house?
No? Then why expect engineers to be full-stack, infra experts, DevOps, security pros & business strategists simultaneously?

💡 Specialization isn't old-fashioned. It's necessary.
💡 Engineering, UI/UX, Infrastructure. They are services to each other.
💡 Stop mixing worlds. Let experts master their craft.

🛑 Hiring isn't broken because of a "talent shortage".
It's broken because of delusional expectations.

You want quality products?
✔ Let engineers engineer.
✔ Let designers design.
✔ Let infrastructure teams handle infra.

If people aren't drowning in work that isn't theirs, they will naturally grow beyond their roles.

But force it?
You'll get:
❌ Burnouts
❌ Legacy code
❌ A team that stops caring

I grew up in tech step by step. The enforcement to do everything at once blocked & blinded me for years.

Fix the environment or enjoy the chaos you created. Your choice. 🎤

💡 Whole Company on a Raspberry Pi Cluster

Once, I had a team that took down a monolith.
Not with brute force, but with precision.

In months, we erased 90% of the code—no migrations, no breakages.
Stripped the bloat, cut dependencies, and ended up with something wild:

🚀 A Raspberry Pi cluster running the entire system.
Five tiny machines. Millions of requests.
Features built in ~90 minutes, not months.
No "senior" devs needed. No we needed. Pure engineering efficiency.

PROD needed bigger iron for scale, but the lesson stuck:
✅ Less code → Less complexity → Less maintenance.
✅ Running 10+ years - never turned into legacy.
✅ PMs even tweak features via ugly but effective XML (DX > UX 😅).

This is real engineering.

While discussing my new book ( => mstdn.social/@lukadotnet/11190) they recognised from their own work and daily reality, many of the opportunities and challenges I described. They also had already adopted many of the elements and principles of Complexity-Thinking described in the book. They recognised the potential benefit of the others they had not adopted yet. ... continue
