Software architecture lead focused on reducing agile overhead to speed up development.
Marlene Roth leads software architecture at Lufthansa Technik. She focuses on stripping away development overhead, helping teams return to basic engineering principles instead of getting stuck in endless meetings.
Her work explores how the industry’s saturation with agile practices often distracts developers. She points out how hyper-synchronization slows projects down—a theme she highlighted in her talk on the ten ways to sabotage software development using agile methodologies. Marlene advocates for cutting back overhead to enable speed, reduce uncertainty, and drive real innovation.
