Why Should I Take This Course?

Project managers have a key role to play in the modern socio-technical discipline of software delivery at scale. As explored in this course, modern organizations need to cultivate an ecosystem of semi-autonomous teams aligned to the flow of change. Project managers can help to define and listen to the interactions between teams to detect gaps in capabilities and misplaced boundaries, thereby avoiding unintended consequences of Conway’s Law (the mirroring effect between team structures and software design). Project managers can also help to identify, assess, and reduce cognitive load on teams, improving ownership and flow of change.

What Will I Learn?

This course provides vital insights into organizational dynamics for modern software delivery. By taking this course you will learn about the key concepts in Team Topologies for modern software delivery: the four fundamental team types, socio-technical mirroring (called Conway’s Law), team cognitive load, the implications of trust boundaries (Dunbar’s number), what is a modern platform, effective skills building, and more. You will also discover how and when to use tools like Cognitive Load assessments, Team API definitions, and a Thin Platform template to define and evolve team boundaries for a fast flow of change.
