Revamping software design for an existing product is a complex decision. It largely depends on how smoothly the tech team can transition from the current stack to a new one. In my view, the new strategy must align with both immediate business needs and long-term goals. Key considerations include: 1. Business Alignment: Ensure strategic fit and meet market demands. 2. Cost and ROI evaluation. 3. Skill and Resources: Assess team capabilities and the learning curve. 4. Scalability and Performance: These influence cost decisions. 5. User Experience: Minimize significant user experience disruptions. 6. Security & Compliance: Choose technology with strong security protocols and regulatory compliance.

- Technology trends prioritisation has to balance all 3 horizons : todays technology which is well established and important but fast getting obsolete (e.g. synchronous blocking APIs), fast establishing technology that is proven and needs adoption in next 2-3 years horizon (e.g. Lakehouse, Generative AI), finally emerging technology not yet proven but only continuous research will help us lead Organization in future (e.g. Quantum Computing) - What is art of possible with Establishing and Emerging technology has to be evaluated for reimagining business outcomes - Business Outcomes should be the basis for prioritisation and adoption of technology trends

#1. Fitment to current business needs and future business needs that are foreseeable: Prioritize technologies that align with both present and anticipated future business objectives. #2. Maturity: Focus on technologies with a proven track record and stability in the industry. #3. Adaptability with the current ecosystem: Choose technologies that integrate well with the existing architecture, ensuring a smooth migration if required. #4. Proven Results: Select technologies that demonstrate successful real-world implementation, even validated through a PoC if necessary. #5. Extensibility: Opt for technologies that are flexible and scalable to accommodate future growth and new features.

To prioritize technology trends in your software design strategy, align them with business goals, assess market demand, evaluate feasibility and ROI, seek user feedback, and consider long-term viability. Run pilot projects to test promising trends and stay engaged with tech communities for insights. This approach ensures that you focus on trends that drive value and adaptability.
