The ideal collaboration between architecture and platform teams

Successful collaboration between architecture and platform teams requires clear communication, shared objectives, and well-defined roles. The architecture team is responsible for establishing the technical vision and design principles, while the platform team focuses on building, managing, and optimizing the systems that support these goals. Together, these teams ensure that solutions are scalable, secure, and aligned with broader business objectives. Common areas of responsibility include shared vision and alignment, governance and standards, and risk management and quality assurance. The architecture team is responsible for defining the technical blueprint and setting best practices, while the platform team takes charge of automation, operational excellence, and enabling tasks. This session will discuss these responsibilities in more detail, offering insights on how both teams can collaborate smoothly and efficiently.
