<h4>An era of complex digital platforms</h4>
<p>Given the complexity of modern digital platforms, making sustainable and well-considered Key Technical Decisions (KTDs) is pivotal. Digital development is no longer about simple web builds; it's about managing multi-million dollar, complex platforms featuring advanced architectures and technologies. This shift demands a radical change in our approach to project workflows and decision-making.</p>
<p>In nowadays 'product-mode' era, where digital products are constantly evolving, the challenges lie in making sustainable technical decisions that enable growth while handling technical debt, documenting choices, and fostering team consensus.</p>
<h4><strong>A strategic framework for decision-making</strong></h4>
<p>Tassos Koutlas, our Deputy VP of Digital Solutions Europe, initiated a structured KTD framework at FFW to address these challenges. KTDs, strategic by nature, differ from user stories by focusing on the broader strategy rather than technical minutiae. They encompass four critical sections: governance, context, solutions exploration, and a recorded decision-making dialogue.</p>
<h4><strong>The KTD framework involves:</strong></h4>
<ul>
<li>Problem identification: Clearly defining what needs to be addressed.</li>
<li>Architectural assessment: Determining if the issue is fundamental to the project's architecture.</li>
<li>Solution comparison: Weighing multiple solutions to find the optimal path forward.</li>
<li>Decision-making: Clearly capturing the decision made.</li>
</ul>
<p>Central to this approach is an unbiased assessment by an impartial technical partner and aligning closely with stakeholders.</p>
<h4><strong>Are you interested in taking a closer look?</strong></h4>
