I am starting to explore words/phrases other than "ownership" to convey a sense of "looking after a thing in a healthy way":
- custodian / custodianship
- curator / curation
- caretaker / caretaking
This is in the context of long-lived software-enriched services (online IT/software services, legal services, accounting services, HR services, etc.) and emphasizing the need for long-term care, not short-term "throw the feature over the fence".
Suggestions?
"You mean each value stream should have its own legal/sales/HR... activities not reused across value streams? "
Yes, this is exactly what some organizations do: core business capabilities aligned to and focused on specific value streams or business areas.
The entire of Team Topologies is about thinking where certain capabilities should best sit and the extent to which - and context in which - some capabilities might be reused when we need to go quickly.
Team Topologies is not really about structure. In fact, it's more about dynamics and organisational mission than org chart.
The implications of approaches like TT include the need to:
- Identify value streams
- Align funding to those streams
- Adopt product management for internal services and internal platforms
- Redesign system and organisational architecture to be realistic about team cognitive load and flow
And a whole bunch of other things. 😁

Today I had the honour of speaking at the Agile Serbia / RSG 2023 in Belgrade.
I would like to thank the organizers for inviting me and taking good care of me, and everyone who came to my session "Domain-Driven Design and Team Topologies for Product-led Organizations".
Slides: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Byk5ACbkLoCycNGmQaIdCro3oMY-MmPd/view?usp=sharing
This was my first trip to Belgrade and I only have positive feelings from all of the interactions I've had. I hope to return one day.
coming to the conclusion that in some cases #teamtopologies interaction modes should be less per team, more per service provided by the team.
yes, teams sometimes violate SRP principle, ie. providing a mature service per xaas and something different per collaboration mode.
now, how could that work in the visual language...?

@Andylongshaw great framing of the question. We'd see this as effectively a Platform service from the Content Design capability.
But also consider how a Content Design expert could help Stream-aligned teams to improve their design capability AND detect opportunities for providing additional content design services from a flow platform.

Blog: Key ideas for fast flow and DevOps transformation - from DevOpsDays Oslo 2023
"The common theme that emerged from the sessions I attended is really that structure is not going to save or fix your digital transformation. Instead, we need to pay attention to the group sizes, group interactions, and group experience when using tools."
¡Acabo de proponer una charla para T3chFest 2024!
Me gustaría hablar sobre #TeamTopologies como alternativa al organigrama jerárquico y entender la organización como flujos de cambio.
https://t3chfest.es/2024/en/call-for-talks/
Q: What do we have to give up to move towards fast flow?
A: The illusion of control
Before I left a company, we had this picture of flow of change.
I recall people sharing two things:
- Stream-aligned teams are shipping at a good pace.
- The team is handling Backend with Kotlin, Web with React, and Mobile with ReactNative
A domain able to deliver E2E without handovers.
Those things were possible due to Platform Grouping and Enabling Teams. Leadership started to behave as enabling team and a little like platforms.
The #FlowOfChange and the team autonomy was great. The team had the cognitive load high but also were challenged and enjoying their work.
Breaking that team into "frontend, mobile, and backend" wouldn't improve the velocity but **destroy **it.
When you see the power of multiple peaces of #TeamTopologies working together to improve fast flow... no way you will look organizations as departments anymore but as flow change.
In the next engineering post I will share about how we understood the tribe flow of change and how we planned a team merge.
Meanwhile, which problems do you see in the next image and what would you do to improve fast flow of change?
In Team Topologies, we define a platform as anything that improves flow and reduces extraneous team cognitive load in teams that use it.
- Wiki page
- Design System
- Infra tooling
- etc.
A platform is not necessarily (just) a blob of technology.
Superb. Mark Burgess has co-authored a research paper with Robin Dunbar on trust (and mistrust) in human groups - looking at Wikipedia edits at scale.
The connection of trust with attention energy is so enlightening 💡

Team Topologies (the book) is 4 years old! We had TT-coloured celebration cake 🍰 at our core team meeting 🤩
In a customer session yesterday there was a misunderstanding about "long-lived teams". People felt that the need to keep teams around long-term was a high bar preventing swarming and discovery.
"Long-lived teams" is instead of short-lived teams (2 weeks, 3 months, etc.) that ignore the "superpowers" of well-functioning teams.
Keep the teams together after they have developed a good working pattern, then bring work to that team.

📣 Did you know that all the free videos from the "Organizing for Independent #ValueStreams" Bundle in our Academy are available on the @TeamTopologies YouTube channel? Watch them now: https://bit.ly/3TuhbJ0
The bundle includes two self-paced video courses: "#TeamTopologies for Managers" by Matthew Skelton & Manuel Pais and "Independent Value Streams with Domain-Driven Design" by Nick Tune & Kacper Gunia.
I’m so excited to work out here. My main focuses:
- Share my internal overview of ITSM product space (user journey map, capabilities checklist)
- Complete my #TeamTopologies of that stack
- Eat more dosas and find a good chai
Stretch goal:
- Figure out a great one-pager product overview template
- Finish my #ProductManager assessment spreadsheet
It’s going to be a fun couple of weeks
Day 1 on Mastodon and I’ve been reblogged and followed by the co author of one of my favourite books at the moment, Team Topologies. We read it as part of a book club in my last team and it just made a whole lot of sense, highly recommend for anyone interested in building and running teams in a modern software engineering organisation - thanks @matthewskelton

Have you read #TeamTopologies, but you still wonder why invest in #EnablingTeams when they are not directly working on products?
The newest course from the @TeamTopologies Academy, "Effective #EnablingTeams" will answer this question and many more. #learningorganization #fastflow https://bit.ly/3qZfYAH
What I absolutely love about #TeamTopologies is that when you say "wow, that's so much cleaner of a picture" it means you made an architecture so much easier to explain to others 😍
Who is Matthew Skelton?
Why did he and Manuel Pais write Team Topologies? Don't let us tell you... 👇 here let Matthew tell you himself.
@roundcrisis great question! We have had good success using Independent Service Heuristics (aka ISH) to find viable separate services
From an upcoming talk: "Architecture for fast flow resembles an ecosystem of loosely-coupled independently-viable services with clear boundaries and ownership aligned to the flow of business value."
Customer question: "In terms of the concept of fully owned systems, what's the best way to approach code repos of shared packages that are contributed to by multiple teams? "
My reply: "Great question. Some further questions to help make decisions:
1. Why does the code need to be shared? What's the sense of value in the sharing?
2. What kind of coupling does the code sharing introduce? Do we want that coupling?

Does anyone have experiences (good or bad) of the emerging practice/tool of "talent marketplace" https://beamery.com/resources/blogs/what-is-a-talent-marketplace-and-why-do-you-need-one
💓 In its good form, a talent marketplace could help orgs to find good fits for people inside well-managed, slowly-evolving teams.
☣️ In a bad form, a talent marketplace would drive "fungible resources" nonsense and destroy teams.
The purpose of an API is as a frame for conversation and collaboration. Providing a service from an API is a nice secondary effect. 💬 > ⚙️

New blog post: How to write a talk about Team Topologies

📢 Team Topologies announces Armakuni as the first Team Topologies Solution Partner (TTSP) worldwide
The next images show a simplification of how we were using #teamcognitiveload and #teamtopologies fundamental team types and interaction modes to enable fast flow of change.
We used the Team-Cognitive-Load-Assessment to understand the team cognitive load in a quarterly basis.
Based on the survey responses, we gather insights that were converted into initiatives with a desired outcome description.
When executed those initiatives, we might reached our desired outcome but we also had undesired consequences.
As any #complexSystem, we cannot say doing X, we will move from point A to B. But we can say, by doing X, we want to be closer to the desired end state.
We need to track the consequences and act on them.
It was painfully hard to gather all the data and have an historic overtime, that's why we started https://teamcognitiveload.com.
We aim to provide a tool based on #teamtopologies and #teamcognitiveload to provide insights to make informed decisions and track the consequences of those initiatives overtime.
Wouldn't be cool to know how your organization evolved overtime and how your decisions helped to enable fast flow of change?
Gentle reminder. There is no Team Topologies certification program. No 2-day quick course, no special letters after your name for your CV, no certification circus. 🚫🤡
Instead, we are cultivating an ecosystem of informed practitioners. This is less "monetizable" but ultimately more valuable to all. 🌱
