Team Topologies

Team Topologies

Team Topologies focuses on team structure & purpose:

  • How do large teams split the workforce?
  • How do teams interact with one-another?

Colaboration between teams is one of the key fundamental traits of successful companies, but there has not been a framework to explain the succesful approaches at companies like Spotify or Toyota.

4 team types & 3 interaction models

4 team types & 3 interaction models

There are only 4 team types: 

  1. Stream Aligned Team focused on a specific cross-functional business capability
  2. Platform Team providing common services to others
  3. Complicated Subsystem Team has high specialization & specific knowledge about one portion of the system
  4. Enabling Team: expert who are helping others to evolve & improve

In terms of relationship between teams we can have:

  • Collaboration when teams are working towards a common goal;
  • X - as a service when there is contact in terms of usage, but little collaboration;
  • Facilitation when a team is helping another one to get rid of impediments.

Collaboration Patterns

Collaboration Patterns

When 2 teams are operating on the same project we can have different types of collaboration types:

  • Partnership: collaborating towards a common goal.
  • Customer-Supplier: dependency is less symmetrical
  • Conformist: no negotiations. The downstream party just gets what they're given.
  • Open Host: have a clear set of rules, language and boundaries that makes collaboration possible.
  • Separate Ways: no collaboration.
  • Big Ball of Mud: chaos

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Ghazala Begum

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.
