Team Topologies
About this book
Skelton and Pais give four team types of stream aligned, enabling, complicated subsystem and platform, and three interaction modes of collaboration, X as a service and facilitating. The argument is that team structure and cognitive load determine architecture, and that you should design the team boundaries deliberately. Covers reverse Conway manoeuvres, fracture planes for splitting systems, and how the interaction modes change over time.
