What is socio-technical architecture modernization and when do I need it?

Socio-technical architecture modernization aligns business strategy with system design to reduce legacy debt by applying domain design and team topologies. You need it when upgrading legacy monoliths or decoupling systems to improve organizational alignment across independent value streams.

What's the best way to govern architecture modernization across multiple teams?
