"Agile, which encourages managers to trust their teams to self organize, may exacerbate the amount of surprise teams produce for their managers. Managers may confuse trust, self-organization and self-management, leading to an insufficient amount of effective leadership." - Jabe Bloom

"An organization skilled at acquiring information, creating insight, and transferring knowledge can tolerate risk with confidence and solve difficult problems through experimentation and innovation." - Cloud Native Transformation by Pini Reznik, Jamie Dobson, Michelle Gienow

"I believe the software development industry is moving rapidly towards a platform thinking based paradigm, one that requires a new understanding." - Jabe Bloom

"That’s the thing with all simulation tools. They’re dependent on what you put into them. If you haven’t looked in the right place and put the right things in, you won’t get the right answers out.” - Adrian Newey

"Architects should focus on engineers and outcomes, not tools or technologies." - Accelerate by Nicole Forsgren, Jez Humble and Gene Kim

"Daring leaders who live into their values are never silent about hard things." - Brené Brown #leaders #quotes

Good services are consistent, not uniform. Of all the principles in the Good Services book, this one stood out to me. 🧵 1/2 #goodservices #humaneorganizations

About to start another Design Adaptive and Effective Organizations with Team Topologies masterclass! 🤩 I’m prepared for a lot of insights and good questions from the group… A lot of hands-on to understand the implications of an adaptive organization. #orgdesign #TeamTopologies #adaptive

Hey folks, I'm looking to line up some CFPs for #conferences next year. I've got talks about organization design, namely alternative management models to have self-managing teams. What conferences do you recommend (and also refer me to ☺️)? Thanks!

"Improving daily work is even more important than doing daily work." - The Phoenix Project by Gene Kim, Kevin Behr, George Spafford #quotes #thephoenixproject #devops #continuousimprovement

Many see Team Topologies as an attempt to map entire organizations. It's about enabling a flow of value through intentional design. It is more powerful than organizing around an organization chart! Read more ⬇️ https://buff.ly/400AjVw #OrganizationalDesign #TeamTopologies #BusinessAgility

I’m at a retreat of a start-up/scale-up. And the CTO starts the presentation with “You ship your org structure” pointing out to #ConwaysLaw. Love the framing to support their growth strategy. Hope more folks are aware and practice it for their orgs! 🌱

"Words are windows, or they're walls. | They sentence us, or set us free." - Ruth Bebermeyer

"No matter what the problem is, it's always a people problem." - Gerald Weinberg

Enjoying the summer? 🏖️ I had an idea that deserved a blog post and finally had the time to write it. It's about one important aspect of Team Topologies aspect that folks usually overlook 👉 https://buff.ly/3MopJ2M What do you think? Thanks to Val Yonchev for the reviews! 💪

"Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it's having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome." - Brené Brown

"The golden rule: Can you make a change to a service and deploy it by itself without changing anything else?" - Sam Newman

Modern organizations have an Open Source Software fund! That's it, I said it! 📣 #OSS is foundational to our lives. It is virtually present anywhere, powering the software on our daily devices. I started to observe more organizations setting those funds. How about you?

I’m a huge fan of the book Good Services. Clear, concise, and insightful. 🙌 One of the initial chapters discusses “What makes a good service,” with the main theme being #intentionality (or lack of it). 1/

Sometimes, I've had paradoxical conversations with folks: they want agility with their teams and, at the same time, control what they do. 🤔 #selfmanagement #trust #agile #opensystems #control #purpose #businessagility 🧵 👇

Last year, I delivered a workshop at a meetup, and one of the exercises was about organization evolution using #TeamTopologies. 🧪 One of the attendees said they were being naïve in the approach, and their solution was not scientific. 1/5 #opensystems #human #intentional

Recently, I had an introspection. I was thinking about my career, and a thought stuck: the places where I saw higher rates of #burnout were the ones where the environment was not friendly to people. 🧵 1/3

🎉 I'm launching soon: "Effectively Manage Team Cognitive Load" — an online course tailored for tech leaders! 🚀You can help fine-tune it with your feedback & get 25% off: buff.ly/3UxHrVp. I plan to run it in Q3 2024. #TeamCognitiveLoad #TeamTopologies #Leadership

I'm a fan of Adrian Newey's work. One thing that stood out to me in this interview (buff.ly/3PQaoKo) was how a race car design department embraces technology while simultaneously increasing the number of people working there. And F1 cars have become more efficient and complicated machines. 1/

What examples do you have of #platforms going wrong? 🤨 📖 There are many definitions of platforms, and I prefer to use the one from #TeamTopologies, where a platform exists to reduce the consumers' #cognitiveload. The platform has other characteristics that are described in the literature. 1/

I've been in the IT industry for a while, and I keep hearing the #overhead joke here and there. People in the teams refer to managers that way, or even managers and senior managers use the term. And I was always confused with it... 1/

One topic that always travels between the forefront and the background of my mind is #contextswithing. Today is the day to write about it 😀 🔎 Psychological studies found that we lose 40% of our time when we switch tasks. And no matter what pop culture says, we can't multitask. 1/
