As engineering organizations grow and the cost of coordinating goes up, scalable tools for creating alignment are increasingly important.
One of the most valuable tools for scaling and alignment is a technical vision: a document that delivers a shared framework for decision-making. One of its biggest advantages is that it provides guidance without the need for direct, high-touch interactions, like code reviews, that don’t scale.
A strong technical vision will succeed in supporting long-term velocity and flexibility, but it can only work if it’s compelling: timely, useful, opinionated, and memorable.
