Cloud Deliberate Architecture Workshop
A focused working session that aligns your architecture and platform teams on how to make cloud decisions. You walk away with a shared framework and documented decisions you can build on immediately.
Most cloud decisions are made inconsistently, in isolation, or by default. This workshop changes that.
Build a shared mindset
Align your teams on principles that reduce noise and support intentional decision-making.
Establish a decision practice
A lightweight framework your teams can use from day one, without slowing down delivery.
Document where you stand
Leave with Architecture Decision Records for your most important current cloud decisions.
How the engagement runs.
Preparation
- Pre-workshop interviews with key participants to understand current decision pain points and team dynamics.

Workshop day
- Introduction to cloud deliberate principles and why they matter in your context.
- Decision framework (Empower, Consult, Measure, Guide, Document) applied to real decisions from your backlog.
- Hands-on ADR writing for two to four of your highest-stakes current cloud decisions.
- Agreement on defaults, paved roads, and escalation paths going forward.
Follow-up
- Written summary of workshop outcomes, agreed principles, and produced ADRs.
- A starter template kit: ADR format, decision criteria checklist, and a suggested paved roads catalogue for your context.
Every phase, accounted for.
