Dates and Booking

Description

An initial model with Team Topologies is quickly drawn and the topologies understood, but this does not even begin to resolve the complex structure of today’s IT organizations. In this training course, we will not only discuss the basis of team topologies, but also delve into the more complex practical problems.

You will benefit from the extensive experience and different perspectives of our trainers and TTAs (Team Topologies Advocates). The training shows you what often doesn’t work so well in practice, how to really implement Team Topologies and how to really live it with real roles, departments and teams.

5 trainers - 5 modules - 100% deep dive

This training extends over three weeks, spread over four training days of 8 hours each: 07.11. / 08.11. / 11.11. / 18.11.2024

Your trainers: Kim Nena Duggen, Alexander Kaserbacher, Michael Plöd, Stefan Toth, Eberhard Wolff

Each participant will receive the German version of the book “Team Topologies” free of charge.

Agenda

Day 1 (All trainers)

Kick-off: Introduction to Team Topologies, Interaction Modes and Fracture Plans, comparison with other approaches such as Inverse Conway

How can you introduce team topologies and influence team interaction even if you are not responsible for the organizational structures? How do you deal with possible resistance? (Eberhard Wolff)

Day 2 (Kim Nena Duggen and Michael Plöd)

When does Team Topologies fit, when does another organizational framework fit, do you need a model at all? And how does organizational design with Team Topologies really work in practice? What questions, decisions and pitfalls need to be considered? What patterns and anti-patterns have emerged in practice when designing dynamic development organizations? (Kim Nena Duggen)

How do you find suitable boundaries for teams in the environment of team topologies? In this topic block we will explore the Team Topologies Fracture Planes and talk about the cut of Bounded Contexts from Domain-Driven Design on the one hand but also combine these ideas with the other cut patterns propagated by Team Topologies with regard to a balanced team cut. We will also introduce Independent Service Heuristics, which provide another exciting perspective on team pruning (Michael Plöd)

Day 3 (Stefan Toth and Alexander Kaserbacher)

How do enabling teams work effectively? What collaboration models are there with other types of teams and how do you prevent a loss of responsibility in stream-aligned teams? We also answer these questions specifically for architecture work and show how a decentralized architecture discipline can be established. (Stefan Toth)

What do modern platforms do for development organizations? From the golden path for developers to the evolution of central templates, infrastructure solutions and abstractions, there is a lot to do in platform teams. We provide an overview and talk about the involvement of SATs (stream-aligned teams), the ideal “thickness” of internal platforms and best practices for setting up and further development. (Alexander Kaserbacher)

**Day 4

Q&A: Finally, we will interactively discuss open questions and provide further valuable tips for implementation.

Audience

Anyone who helps shape IT projects. Team Topologies touches on many different roles, so the target group is very broad. No prior technical knowledge is necessary!

Training Objectives

I can use Team Topologies even if others actually define the organization.

Apply the Team Topologies model to real roles, departments and teams.

Understand why Team Topologies often go wrong in practice.

Understand the connection between technical structures and my organization.
