With the help of the wider community the Team Topologies team shapes library is now available in many common diagramming tools including Miro, Lucid Chart, Figma, Diagrams.net, Google Draw, Google Slides and PowerPoint.

Matthew Skelton und Manuel Pais haben mit ihrem Buch “Team Topologies” eine ausgezeichnete Beschreibung der Herausforderungen moderner Enterprise IT vorgelegt und bieten ein Modell an, das in vielen Fällen als Vorlage für eine effiziente Organisation herangezogen werden kann.

We spoke to Mark Phillips - author of Reinventing Communications - to discover insights into modern organizational dynamics from the viewpoint of project management and program management.

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.

Deployment pipelines can really help Stream-aligned teams to deliver software changes independently:

1. Deployment pipelines can help to reinforce an independent flow of change for a Stream-aligned team. Don’t forget to enable rapid feedback via telemetry!

2. Define the endpoints external to the team - these represent the “outside world” from team perspective. These external endpoints should be outside or at the domain boundary.

3. There can be huge value in managing your deployment pipeline “as a Service or as a proper product, with product management approaches.
