Domain-Driven Design Barcelona and N26 are very happy to invite you to the fourth session of our DDD series, this time about Context Mapping and Team Topologies.

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.

This talk explores the three key cornerstones for achieving a fast flow of value in engineering organizations: Decoupled Architecture, SDLC processes and Team-of-teams organizational design to match 1 & 2.

Join authors Matthew Skelton and Manuel Pais for an immersive one-day masterclass designed to empower leadership through effective team dynamics. This session, tailored for C-Level executives and senior managers, delves into the principles and practical applications of Team Topologies to create nimble, high-performing organizations.

Join Matthew Skelton's keynote on November 13 for first-hand insights and a live walkthrough on how to create fast workflows — a one-off opportunity not to be missed.

Building platforms for automotive embedded systems may feel different from those for high-frequency trading algorithms or highly secure government services. However, certain patterns and principles consistently distinguish those who will excel from those who will be mediocre at best.

Scaling Success: How Team Topologies Have Evolved Since Publication - Panel

Join us to learn how we work with organizations to structure platform team(s) by mapping the team context. Learn how to identify essential services and define the service boundaries, empowering your organization to provide services effectively without burning out your platform engineers and adding unnecessary complexity. Discover the key to shaping a more efficient and agile organization through thoughtful platform team structuring.

Join Manuel Pais to find out what makes internal platforms ANTI-fragile!

Enhance your organization's agility and streamline team workflows with our in-person course in Warsaw, presented in Polish by Team Topologies valued partner, Lean Agile Ninja. Learn practical strategies to optimize team structures, improve collaboration, and accelerate the delivery of customer value while avoiding burnout. Ideal for teams and leaders committed to continuous improvement and innovation.

Building platforms for automotive embedded systems may seem very different from those for high-frequency trading in FSI or secure government services. However, universal patterns distinguish top performers from the rest. After seven years of platform building and enabling rapid innovation, we've identified key insights. Join us in a conversation to explore how to create inspiring engineering environments that unleash full potential and creativity.

Key points/outcomes

Understanding “Platforms”: we will explore the differences between a platform and a platform service, as well as how platform definitions can vary across industries.

Complex Architectures and Team Structures: we will explore the complexities of engineering platforms that extend beyond the traditional full-stack single product team.

Platform team-of-team organization: we will go over a set of proven principles helping leaders deliver measurable business impact from their platform organizations

Is Your Org Chart a Roadblock to Tech Delivery? with Susan Abishara, Luke McManus and Karthik Subbaiah

Join us for a thought-provoking discussion where our speakers will dive into the complexities of organisational structures and their impact on tech delivery. Discover how traditional hierarchies might be slowing down your projects and explore how reimagining your tech team dynamics can lead to a faster flow of value, rather than just a fast flow of features. We’ll discuss strategies to deliver customer value more effectively, transforming your org chart from a roadblock into a catalyst for optimal workflow.

In this talk, Matthew Skelton – co-author of the book Team Topologies – explores some of the benefits of adopting Team Topologies (and fast flow generally) in terms of wider organizational and business goals, and how organizations can become more nimble by adopting the underlying “core agility” practices that Team Topologies provides.

In this session, Matthew will talk about the principles behind Team Topologies before Paul Ingles (CTO, uSwitch.com), John Kilmister (Software Architect, PureGym), Richard Allen (Team Topologies Advocate) and Ivan Krnic (Directior of Engineering, CROZ) will describe how they applied insights from the book to help them achieve their goals.Live Q&A to finish.

In this talk, we’ll explore how the patterns and principles from Team Topologies promote true business and technical agility through a rapid flow of software change, fast feedback from running systems, a strong drive for loose coupling, and awareness of sociotechnical mirroring. Combined with a product mindset and techniques from Domain-driven Design, the Team Topologies approach is helping organizations around the world to adapt to the “new normal” and achieve true business and technical agility.

Join co-author of Team Topologies, Matthew Skelton, and CTO of Container Solutions, Jamie Dobson, for a no-nonsense discussion of internal platforms and why treating your platform as a product is A Good Thing.

Join Matthew Skelton for a talk at the Domain-Driven Design London meetup group on Tuesday, May 12th.

DDD-Lite: Independent Service Heuristics

When designing organizations for fast flow of change, we need to find effective boundaries between different streams of change. Techniques like Domain-Driven Design (DDD) are very powerful for this but can be quite involved and difficult to learn. A lightweight intermediate approach is to ask "could this thing be run as a cloud-hosted (SaaS) service or product?".

This session explores the Independent Service Heuristics, a kind of “DDD-Lite” approach based on some ideas in the book Team Topologies by Matthew Skelton and Manuel Pais. The Independent Service Heuristics help teams to find candidate services and domains for running as a separate value stream or separate service.
