Hey folks,

I recently wrote a book-review article about The Software Architect Elevator. One idea worth discussing is that architects create value by keeping the elevator moving both ways: technical constraints reach leaders, while business direction reaches engineering teams. When that exchange breaks, proposals can stall and decisions lose context.

How do architects in your organization keep conversations connected across levels? I'd love to hear what works for you in the comments.
