Team Topologies
Book • 2019
Team Topologies provides a step-by-step, adaptive model for organizational design and team interaction.
The book focuses on four primary team types (stream-aligned, enabling, complicated subsystem, and platform teams) and three interaction modes (collaboration, X-as-a-service, and facilitating).
It emphasizes the importance of managing cognitive load, clear boundaries, and effective communication pathways to optimize value streams and software health.
The authors draw on their experience and include real-world case studies to help readers choose and evolve the right team patterns for their organization.
