ABSTRACT
Recent research summarised in the book points to a set of practices that lead to high software development organisation performance. Simultaneously, research from the Santa Fe institute on Complex Adaptive Systems over the last 20 years seems to point to a grand unified theory of organisational design. So have we cracked it?
Do we now have the answer to the question: how do we create and scale high performing software and organisations?
In this talk, James explores the relationships between team structure, software architecture and the emergent phenomenon of complexity science." [...]

This talk and Lean management practices are in alignment. Value stream of software development processes is often set and rarely optimized consistently. Good reminders.

This talks is excellent and it has been featured in the last issue of Tech Talks Weekly newsletter 🎉

When you are a individual contributor, these concepts seems farfetch, but when you enter a large company and teams start to grow, and you face the inner burocracy, and the codebase reach 500+ thousand lines of code, then these concepts start to emerge. DevOps culture, workflow automation, test automation, ownership, governance, acountability, etc. Because suddendly the individual performance doesnt extrapolate to the team performance anymore, coordination become more dificult, and the pace of shipping features start to slow, then these kinds of insights start to be more valuable, even when no direct accionable is mencion.

Watching for the second time to arm myself further and start delving into this paradigm. I've run my small studio somehow similar but I know I need a well defined methodology to follow.

Excellent video. Thank You. I really like views that step back and look for similarity across apparently unrelated fields. The social scaling really resonates with me as I am really interested in the concept of autonomy@scale rather than Agile@scale which is where I think most organisations are failing to get the benefits that they expect from Agile transformations.

Wow I didn't know about Stefan Tilkov, I was a big fan of his talks. Influenced me a lot.

Verbose, but not wrong. Dare I summarise - organisations should be modelled on a Directed Acyclic Graph topology - directed, as in there is some value produced at the end; acyclic, in that its clear which teams provide services for other teams and there are no infinite loops; and graph, in that we accept real world has more than one parent node :)

Fantastic talk, Team Topologies is one of those books that you want to re-read from time to time.

Another nonsensical low value video from Thoughtworks; Capital T for thought lowercase w for work.

I have to agree. The title makes very little sense in terms of architecture or complexity. It should be more along the lines of "how to grow companies to be successful". And cut down the chit chat here. Should be 30 minutes. Guess they pay Thoughtworks talkers by the hour.
