DESCRIPTION:Modern IT teams often resemble adventuring parties: people wit
 h different strengths\, blind spots\, and priorities trying to complete di
 fficult quests under pressure. Many delivery problems come from poor tool 
 selection\, weak role alignment\, and decisions that add complexity instea
 d of reducing it.\n\nIn this talk\, I use lessons from role-playing games 
 to explore how technology choices influence team performance\, delivery sp
 eed\, and operational resilience. Why do some platforms become magical art
 ifacts nobody understands? Why do organizations keep collecting new weapon
 s while collaboration gets worse?\n\nUsing examples from DevOps and cloud 
 environments\, I will show how common failures emerge: overengineering\, t
 ool sprawl\, hidden dependencies\, hero culture\, and unclear ownership\, 
 then turn those lessons into practical guidance for building healthier tea
 ms and simpler systems. A practical session on architecture\, DevOps cultu
 re\, platform thinking\, and better decisions
