009-5 Things your technical architect secretly wants to yell at you

You depend on them and, let's be honest, sometimes you abuse them. This week we talk to Ollie Hunter, the enterprise architect for a leading e-commerce firm in Europe. Ollie will share life from an architect's perspective, and help us understand how we, as project leaders, can develop better relationships with our architects, and enable them so they can have the most impact on your project. We got so into this episode that it's our longest one yet, at just about an hour of great stuff!

And, yes, there is actual yelling in this episode J
