Too many tools cost money - too little architecture costs impact
Without architecture, typical side effects appear.
- A setup becomes expensive because workarounds grow.
- Measurability stays fragmented because data does not come together cleanly.
- Teams lose time because processes work differently depending on the tool.
- Software becomes shelfware because adoption and governance are missing.
Good tool selection does not just reduce licence costs. It reduces complexity and speeds up the path to reliable traceability and ROI.
