Yorkshire tea debates and laughter over Italian cuisine in Leeds yesterday! Oana Leonte picks the BEST places to eat!

I am a big fan of Mike Burrow's work. The "Organising without Reorganising" principle here resonates strongly with me. 💡 I phrase it as: "Don't re-organize people; re-organize purpose" That is: don't do a freaking "re-org" - instead, define mission and purpose at multiple levels of the org and make that mission the primary success measure. Reporting lines are retained for only a small number of things. And professional development is handled via communities and active knowledge diffusion.

Are you at DevOpsDays Singapore? Accelerate the adoption and evolution of fast flow and Team Topologies within your organization through profound insights into the key ideas and techniques needed for fast flow. Join Matthew Skelton as he addresses many of the critical challenges faced by organizations delivering digital services, including: • Inefficient value delivery • Crippling team dependencies • Increasing time-to-value • Unclear paths to improvement • Scaling challenges that slow growth The cost of these inefficiencies typically runs into millions of dollars annually per organization. Increase your awareness of the size and scope of investment required for fast flow transformation and prioritize the strategic initiatives needed: ✔️ Understand Team Topologies principles that enable fast flow at scale across your core operations. ✔️ Gain strategic decision-making techniques to optimize team structures and reduce cognitive overload. ✔️ Learn practical approaches to enhance end-to-end financial transparency and improve staff wellbeing. “A huge thank you to Matthew Skelton for sharing his insights with us. The way he presented it from first principles was really empowering. The interactivity was also top-class.” — Chaya Trevor, alphalist.CTO community Discover how to create and sustain nimble, humane organizations that deliver digital services at speed and scale — save your spot, link in comments. #TeamTopologies #DigitalTransformation #BankingTechnology #Singapore #FastFlow #LeadershipStrategy #OrganizationalEffectiveness #StrategicAlignment #ExecutiveLeadership #DevOpsDays

Is your organization developing for AI, Machine Learning, or data science and struggling with team structure or cognitive load? Successful Machine Learning organizations recognize that engineering excellence forms the foundation of effective Continuous Delivery for Machine Learning (CD4ML). The same organizations also recognize that Team Topologies forms the foundation of engineering excellence. Team Topologies interaction modes gain new significance in ML contexts: • Collaboration is essential during initial ML implementation • X-as-a-Service enables scaling capabilities across organizations • Facilitating supports the adoption of ML best practices Organizations can use Team Topologies to create sustainable, effective ML development capabilities while avoiding cognitive overload. Are your teams evolving in line with the technologies they develop? #CD4ML #AI #GenAI #Technology #AISecurity #Innovation #DigitalTransformation #AIOperatingModels #TechInnovation #Conflux #FastFlow #TeamTopologies

Really enjoyed collaborating with Matthew Skelton on this Telenet Transformation Case Study. 🙏 As always, valuable to step back and reflect on all what we’ve learned. In a nutshell, it’s all about architecting the system, and not just the pieces! (tempting as that may be!). 🚀   Hope it inspires, and curious to hear your learnings / thoughts! #transformationleadership #organizatingforoutcomes #teamtopology #tribepatterns

How do you structure your teams if you are working within Machine Learning and AI development? While Team Topologies has repeatedly proven its effectiveness in optimizing teams for software delivery and DevOps, is the same true for AI/ML organizations? Matthew Skelton recently hosted a livestream with Effective Machine Learning Teams authors David Tan and David Colls, confirming that it's just as effective in this context! Successful ML organizations recognize that engineering excellence forms the foundation of effective ML delivery, mainly through Continuous Delivery for Machine Learning (CD4ML). Team Topologies identifies four fundamental team types that serve distinct purposes within the delivery of software-enriched services and are similarly applicable in the AI/ML development space: ➡️ Stream-aligned teams: Form the backbone of ML product delivery, owning end-to-end development while maintaining fast flow through well-defined boundaries. ➡️ Platform teams: Provide essential infrastructure and tooling that reduce cognitive load by managing shared data pipelines and ML governance frameworks. ➡️ Enabling teams: Bridge knowledge gaps between data science and engineering disciplines, helping organizations navigate novel ML challenges. ➡️ Complicated subsystem teams: Manage specialized expertise areas, providing sophisticated capabilities as services to stream-aligned teams. By thoughtfully applying these team types, AI/ML organizations can build sustainable capabilities that drive business value while supporting team health. It’s about adopting the right operating model to allow your teams to flourish.
