Navigate application architecture drift and organizational alignment

What this post added

This post defines application architecture drift and its relationship with team topologies. It introduces the FINE Analysis (Flow, Impediments, Needs, Effort) as a framework for evaluating and realigning team topologies across the application lifecycle. It details architectural and team topology characteristics for experimentation, production, maintenance, and end-of-support phases, and discusses the trade-offs between simplifying architecture and adjusting team topologies to manage drift.
