What is the Stop Re-Running the Same Architecture Review course about?
You’ve already done the hard work, designing the solution, aligning peers, and getting verbal buy-in. But every review cycle, the same stakeholders question the same decisions. The deck gets reworked, feedback loops reopen, and momentum dies. You're not blocked by tech debt, you're blocked by decision debt. The cost isn’t just time; it’s credibility. Every re-run tells the room the process doesn’t.
