Step 6: Here Is How to Actually Design Your Team Topology — Not Just Read About It The OTT design exercise uses the completed value stream as a stage-by-stage design input, asking four questions at each stage to identify which team type should own the work.

This is part of day two of my DDD foundation workshop, and honestly one of my favourite conversations to facilitate.

#DomainDrivenDesign #CollaborativeModelling #EventStorming #SoftwareArchitecture #TeamTopologies

Do methodologies like #TeamTopologies or #EventStorming have any real impact in projects where clients insist on following only their established practices?

On paper, these approaches promise autonomy — but in reality, they can leave you with no agency if there’s no room to apply them.

Agentic AI won't fix a team that doesn't yet understand the impact of what it builds. If anything, it'll just accelerate the production of things nobody needed.

The bottleneck was never typing speed.

The superpower of Team Topologies lies in providing a vocabulary for talking about team structures and interactions.

Its Achilles' heel is being opinionated on exclusive code ownership at team level, where shared product codebase ownership is also a valid heuristic

Team Topologies is not enough; you need a management model to match! available on YouTube.

A recurring question I get about the Architecture Advice Process (AAP) is who should own the ADR when autonomy clashes with delivery.

The Eight Wastes of Modern Software Delivery - Matt Shaw What's really slowing your team down and how to fix it.

What's really slowing your team down? Spoiler alert: it's (mostly) not about technology...

I've written a practical and evidence-based guide that breaks down the eight wastes of modern software delivery.

#Lean #ContinuousDelivery #DevOps #DORA #PlatformEngineering #TeamTopologies

I blend the concepts of #TeamTopologies and #BeyondBudgeting to entice people to rethink their operating models, just beyond a "new funding model". We need a holistic view of the management model, and improvements are needed across the board.

Platform teams are stream-aligned teams working inside a platform grouping. This resonates so well with me and how I think about platform teams! Happy the second edition of #TeamTopologies clarifies this thinking.

In Melbourne, Australia, a manhole cover beside the road has been spray painted yellow and black, to form a character with a black eye and open pizza-slice-sized mouth. The yellow circular character is positioned towards a row of small yellow flashing dots which cross the road in front, and appears to be chasing and eating them. The words ‘Scratch News Australia’ display below the yellow dots. The image promotes Scratch News Australia, scratchnews.io
