Velocity | Thomas Nys | The Fractional Data Architect

Velocity paradox in engineering - how shortcuts become walls at speed

The Velocity Paradox

Engineering culture and technical debt - speed without quality creates drag

Speed-only cultures build hidden debt, not velocity

Team topology for data delivery - organizational structure beats tooling

Team structure shapes your delivery speed more than tools

Architecture vs velocity - why faster delivery cannot fix poor foundations

You cannot outrun poor architecture by accelerating delivery

Engineering scalability - eliminating friction instead of sprinting harder

You don't scale by sprinting harder

Delivery velocity vs architecture - why speed without foundation fails

"Faster" alone won't save anyone

Architecture delivery velocity - why slow teams have design problems not people problems

Your architecture is how you deliver.
