Architecting for uncertainty - part 2: fast flow defined

This is the second in a series of articles based on my talk Architecting for Fast Flow: Thriving Amid Uncertainty. In this series, I define the term fast flow and explain why it has become an essential software delivery capability. I discuss how fast flow emerges from a socio-technical architecture, which consists of a software architecture and its development organization. Finally, I describe how to design and evolve a socio-technical architecture in order to sustain fast flow.

The articles in the series are:

1. Thriving in a VUCA world requires frequent deployment
2. Fast flow defined
3. GenAI as an amplifier
4. Team topologies organizes for fast flow

The first article explained that thriving in a VUCA world requires a business to constantly experiment, and that the more frequently it deploys changes, the more rapidly it learns. This article describes the software delivery capability that makes that possible: fast flow.
