We are offering reduced price “Scholarship” training on Team Topologies during June and early July 2020 to people affected by the COVI-19 pandemic: 96€ EUR per session instead of the regular price 300€ EUR per session.

We’re pleased to launch a new online interactive training series covering essential Team Topologies concepts and patterns with training led by the authors of Team Topologies, Matthew Skelton and Manuel Pais.

The training sessions have been designed for the new remote-first, post-pandemic world. The sessions are 4 hours long (with breaks), making them suitable for people in multiple different timezones to join. The sessions are:

• TT04 - Principles & Practices for Stream-Aligned Teams

• TT05 - Reducing Cognitive Load with Supporting Topologies

• TT06 - Evolving Responsive Organizations

• TT07 - Team Boundaries and Architecture for Fast Flow

Each session covers a different set of Team Topologies ideas and concepts with links between sessions to connect the concepts. Each session is fully independent and valuable by itself, but when taken together as a set of four, the sessions provide a complete coverage of the essential Team Topologies ideas.

The authors of the book Team Topologies - Matthew Skelton and Manuel Pais - are pleased to announce new self-paced online training for project managers in partnership with the Project Management Institute (PMI). The course - Team Topologies for Project Managers - helps project managers to understand how to set up technology and business teams to achieve faster flow and faster feedback based on the principles and practices in the acclaimed book Team Topologies. The course takes around 4 hours to complete and comes with a Certification of Completion & 8 PDUs for PMI members.

Matthew and Manuel will be presenting and signing their book at several events until end of 2019: DevOps Summit in Amsterdam, DOES US in Las Vegas, SQS-Tag in Frankfurt, Jenkins World in Lisbon, and Seacon in London.

We’re thrilled to announce that the book Team Topologies: Organizing Business and Technology Teams for Fast Flow by Matthew Skelton and Manuel pais has been published by IT Revolution Press and is now available in paperback, Kindle, and audiobook from stores around the world.

I recently joined Mike Kavis of Deloitte on his OnCloud podcast to talk about team communication for effective software delivery. We covered the original DevOps Topologies patterns and how these have been used in industry, and then talked about what’s in the book Team Topologies: well-defined team types, what we mean by a modern platform, team interaction modes, clear responsibility boundaries, DevEx, and using difficulties in team interactions as ‘signals’ to the organization that something is missing or misplaced. We also talked about moving beyond the Spotify model - success in software delivery is not just about team structures but about how teams interact and what kind of relationships they create, sustain, and evolve.

The DevOps Institute has published the Enterprise DevOps Skills Report 2019 covering the in-demand skills for software development in enterprises around the world.

The original DevOps Team Topologies - which ultimately led to our Team Topologies book - are mentioned in the report in the context of different kinds of teams to help make DevOps work.
