Flowtopia 2024 - Bureaucratic organizations: where products go to die
There is no silver bullet for innovation. In this talk we uncover together how Team Topologies - in combination with an array of other tools, practices and principles - challenges our conventional understanding of organizations and enables true adaptability. Let’s explore how this holistic approach, this socio-technical revolution, ushers in a new era for products and innovation.
Transitions to Product Operating Models (Project-to-Product): Common challenges and solutions nobody talks about.
In this session we will explore some of the major challenges in transitioning to a Product Operating Model (Project-to-Product) and discuss often-overlooked solutions. We will dive into the role of value streams within Product Operating Models; common pitfalls with internal platform products; managing a large portfolio of products in an organization; achieving innovation over product optimization; avoiding the latest bottleneck - insufficient product managers. We will also cover ways to prevent team size inflation from new roles and more. Bring your challenges, and we will gladly address them too.

DevOpsDays Amsterdam - Collaborative software design for team cognitive load
Collaborative software design for team cognitive load
When navigating the complexities of software design and development, new ideas and future requests frequently cross software and team boundaries. The most effective approach to these design challenges is through collaborative modelling sessions, where teams are directly involved in crafting the software design. Yet, this approach leads us to a critical dilemma: What happens when new capabilities increase the cognitive load on a team, hindering their ability to deliver on both new and ongoing business needs? And how do we address situations where these new capabilities clash with our current architecture, leading to necessary changes that don’t fit our existing team structures? Our goal is always to create the best architecture for our business challenges, but this depends heavily on our teams’ delivery capabilities. This brings us to a fundamental question: If our teams face difficulties in implementing what is ideally the ‘best’ architecture, can we still consider it the most effective solution?
Join us in this interactive, hands-on session, where you will delve into a real-world software design challenge that intersects both software and team boundaries. Equipped with detailed context and comprehensive software diagrams, you will design in groups two potential software designs. You are free to approach the challenge in any way you prefer, and we will provide a message flow modelling template to help you quickly start addressing your challenge. From those initial two designs, we will introduce you to the fundamental principles of Team Topologies, focusing on how cognitive load affects the teams involved and your software design. This understanding of cognitive load will be crucial as we further explore more solutions to the design challenge. Throughout this session, you will gain practical insights into how cognitive load influences your approach to software design. You will learn how to effectively incorporate Team Topologies into your design decisions. By the end of this experience, you will have hands-on software design experience, tackling complex design challenges with a team-first approach.

PlatformCon 2024 - Manuel Pais on From Fragile to Antifragile Internal Platforms
Manuel Pais on "From Fragile to Antifragile Internal Platforms"
Manuel Pais will be delivering a keynote at this year’s edition of PlatformCon.
Don’t miss the the latest on platform-as-a-product, platform grouping of teams and acceleration of flow through proper design of platforms and the team interactions behind them.
Internal platforms are understood as a necessity in most organizations today. But they're often fragile and susceptible to economic downturns, changes in funding models, or changes in leadership focus.
Internal platforms are generally understood as a necessity in most organizations today. However, results are often underwhelming, and the investment becomes hard to measure or justify. This makes internal platforms fragile and susceptible to economic downturns, changes in funding models, or leadership focus.
So, what is needed to make internal platforms antifragile?
“Antifragility is a property of systems in which they increase in capability to thrive as a result of stressors, shocks, volatility, noise, mistakes, faults, attacks, or failures.”
Of course, the platform as a product approach is critical to help focus and prioritize (internal) customer needs. Continuously understanding the platform audience, building trust, and reducing blind spots are required to thrive.
However, sustainable platforms need to be able to withstand financial shocks as well. We need to deal with the reality that (end customer) products (usually) have clear revenue and unclear costs, while internal platforms (usually) have clear costs and unclear revenue. How do we avoid naïve/biased approaches to demonstrate platform value that overlooks the costs? How do we show the value perceived by decision-makers who might be sitting two or three degrees away in the organization?
Antifragile internal platforms grow on trust and 360º transparency to survive the inevitable stressors, failures, and misunderstandings. Chances are that mandates, blind standardization, and fuzzy “productivity” goals, among other issues, are eroding the trust foundations needed for platform sustainability in your organization.
Moving beyond cross functional teams to Team Topologies to enable flow
In this first meet ups relating to Organisation Design, we are going to explore one of the models that has gained much traction in building teams to enable fast flow – Team Topologies.
Accelerating value with transparent flow-based organizations
In this webinar, we'll delve into the continuing evolution of the Team Topologies approach, the renewed focus on designing work with the fast flow of customer value at the core, and how it works alongside Thoughtworks' tools like the Simplified Operating Model and value-driven portfolio management. Drawing on data from fieldwork in Australia and additional research, we'll also discuss upcoming trends for leaders addressing scaled organizational challenges.
