I write about software , learning, and agility
Public Speaking - Talks, Podcasts and Publications
Sharing what I have learned is important to me - it helps me reflect on what I am actually doing, find my blind spots and explore how my experience connects to other people’s work. Speaking has been daunting in the beginning, but with time, I’ve started to really enjoy it. And the creative process of putting together a well thought-out story is as laborious, as it is fulfilling!
Here is a collection of my appearances on conferences and in podcasts. Further down you can also find a list of all my publications and articles not found on this website.
Knowledge silos are a plague for big organisations. They slow down decision-making, sometimes preventing innovation from happening and inviting inertia. And yet, they are notoriously hard to tackle. In this talk we showcase what we’ve done for over 4 years to ignite a knowledge-sharing revolution with the help of enabling teams.

Shift-Left for Learning
With the Help of Enabling Teams
Tsvetelina Plummer, Berrin Akvardar
If you can take a bird's-eye view of your organisation, how often would you see the same problem being solved over and over again? You look around and see that one team did an amazing job at data loading, but that other team over there somehow did a worse job, in double the time. Ouch, how did that happen?
Splitting without Splitting
Eberhard Wolff’s stream from the AmA Conf
Tsvetelina Plummer, Pricilia Gunawan
What's the best way to collaborate with data scientists? Should they be in their own team or can they be embedded within engineering teams? And what if you had 10 of them?
In our years of working with data scientists, we've learned there are ways to do things, beside splitting people, even in contexts where there are A LOT OF people!
Watch me and my colleague Pricilia Gunawan tackle this in a live stream from the Agile meets Architecture conference!
Team Topologies Panel
Moderated by Michael Plöd, together with Evelyn Van Kelle, Simon Rohrer, Kenny Baas Schwegler, Carola Lilienthal
Eberhard Wolff’s stream on the Agile meets Architecture conference brought me together with Simon Wardley, Carola Lilienthal and Markus Harrer to chat about Wardley mapping… and well… Software Architecture
Wardley Maps meets Software Architecture
From EuroPLoP 2024
This is a podcast recorded during the 29th European Pattern Conference EuroPLoP. Eduardo Guerra interviewed me and Filipe Correia on our experience being co-chairs of the 2024 EuroPLoP. We share insights on what this conference is all about and what makes it completely stand out within academia and practitioner conferences alike. Tune in to get excited!
