A guided introduction to the core Team Topologies principles and practices

Workshop outcomes

This introductory workshop helps participants to understand the core ideas in Team Topologies by working through a series of exercises based upon the Team Topologies in a nutshell infographic and covers the following areas:

1. What it means to be Team-first

2. The impact of Conway's law on fast flow of change

3. Things that block flow and the consequences of blocked flow

4. How platform, complicated sub-system and enabling teams support stream-aligned teams to deliver end-to-end value

5. How Team API and tracking dependencies can help

6. The concept of organizational sensing

7. Limiting team cognitive load and aligning to value streams 

8. The benefits and outcomes of having happier team members

Workshop format

The workshop is run across 2 separate 3-hour sessions:

1. Session 1 - Elements that block flow and their consequences

2. Session 2 - A guide to the basic principles of Team Topologies

We recommend that these sessions are run on either the same day (morning and afternoon) or consecutive days. This helps to keep the material and ideas “front of mind” for attendees whilst giving some space for reflection (and normal work activities). 

The workshops are delivered by authorized Team Topologies Learning Partners (TTLPs).
