What challenges have you faced with team dynamics or flow in your organization? Kudos to Brian Graham for this edition.
Ever felt like team names, smart hires, or platform setups weren’t solving the real problems? There’s more to unlocking fast flow and innovation than meets the eye. Let’s dive into the hidden opportunities together!

Curious about transitioning from project-based work to a Product Operating Model? Our latest newsletter dives into how Team Topologies can help leaders navigate the unique challenges of this shift, especially in complex enterprise environments. We explore why internal platforms need to be treated as products and discuss the complexities of defining product boundaries in ways that empower teams. Discover insights on structuring value streams for multi-team products and building effective 'team-of-teams' architectures.

The future of Team Topologies, dominated by AI agents, presents both opportunities and challenges. As AI continues to evolve, organisations must navigate this new landscape thoughtfully, ensuring that technology enhances rather than diminishes the human experience at work. By reimagining principles like Conway's Law, Dunbar's Number, and context switching in an AI-driven world, we can create teams

What is Team Topologies? Is it a framework? Is it a set of principles? How can you start using it without having a big-bang, top-down approach? And is that ever the right approach?

In a recorded interview from the Acceler8IT Conference in Krakow, Matthew Skelton, co-author of Team Topologies, sat down with Sabine Wojcieszak from getNextIT to discuss the practical and human-centered value of Team Topologies in modern workplaces. Their conversation delves into the potential of this flexible framework, which promotes adaptive team structures, reducing cognitive load, and nurturing a sense of security and fulfillment at work.

In our recent Project to Product Open Forum, we gathered leaders, practitioners, and transformation experts to explore the challenges and opportunities of moving from a project-centric to a product-centric way of working. The conversation couldn’t have been more timely; with only 2% of organizations fully mature in these transformation attempts and with a failure rate of 70% for business transformations, the shift is proving to be more difficult than anticipated for many organizations.

Organizations that adopt a "platform as a product" approach can fundamentally transform and accelerate the value realization from their digital product development. With the move to Product Operating Models, aka Project-to-Product transitions, more and more leaders realize the importance of sound platform engineering strategy and approach.
