The book Team Topologies has been 5 or 6 years in the making. How did we (Manuel and I) come to write to book and why?

…

In our travels around the world helping organizations with software delivery practices, we noticed that organizations needed guidance on how to evolve team interactions. We also saw that in many organizations the boundaries between teams are very unclear: people were asking “why are we spending so much time working with that other team?” or “why is this service so difficult to use?” - very often there was little clarity about the purpose and duration of team-to-team interactions.

Our forthcoming book - Team Topologies: organizing business and technology teams for fast flow - is progressing well. We’re thrilled to be working with the amazing folks at IT Revolution Press, the home of books like The Phoenix Project, The DevOps Handbook, and Accelerate. The expected publication date is later in 2019.
