"Teams are often forced to estimate their work, meet deadlines, follow standard processes, have their productivity measured, and use clunky tools... The most frustrating thing is that these controls reduce flow." Nick Tune Medium medium.com/nick-tune-tech… #fastflow

Ewan Leith Anyul Rivas Matthew Skelton #BLM 💙🌻 dr. nicole forsgren Gene Kim @manupaisable @suksr Team Topologies It's a very important book - the method @suksr has for combining Team Topologies, Wardley Mapping & DDD is a game changer. It's a future classic (future as it's not out yet)!

"This talk will introduce a Systems Thinking perspective on those two approaches and explain how both can be leveraged in combination to get a deep dive on many interactions in a system of teams and software." Michael Plöd speakerdeck.com/mploed/systems… #TeamTopologues #contextmapping

"When leaders are confident enough to solicit and reward feedback, this encourages employees to say what they really think and to be willing to hear the opinions of others in return." Amy Edmondson and Kim Scott fastcompany.com/90814937/follo… #psychsafety

"Cohesion is a powerful thing — the sense of belonging brings people together to achieve something greater than the sum of the parts. We leverage this within any organisation to significant effect." Graeme Lindsay medium.com/bbc-product-te… #TeamTopologies #Platform

"What if the most important part of "platform engineering" is maintaining a high quality wiki with proven, empathic patterns for Stream-aligned teams to follow? " Matthew Skelton InfoQ infoq.com/articles/cogni…

"Matthew Skelton joins the Engineering Room to discuss topics from how to deal with the complex adaptive system when undertaking software development, to the structure of software development being more like an ant colony than an organised, hierarchy." youtube.com/watch?v=vIcp9z…

"For anyone working with teams, I believe basic facilitation skills are valuable for everyone growing into more senior roles: they should be competent with tools to shape group conversations for a wide variety of situations." Elizabeth Ayer medium.com/@ElizAyer/revi…

"To succeed in remote work, adopting a mindset of more deliberate and continuous design and evolution of teams' boundaries, dependencies, and purposeful interactions is essential." Eduardo da Silva and Rich Allen infoq.com/articles/remot… #TeamTopologies

"Setting up an appropriate team structure is only the beginning of laying the foundation for a successful organization. The interactions between teams are just as, if not more, important to get right." Nigel Kersten and Matt Campbell infoq.com/articles/platf…

"There’s always going to be differences of opinion,and so the federated model gives us the ability to have different communities and different rules,different cultures online.And that’s just admitting that there are humans in the loop,really.” Blaine Cook thenewstack.io/why-a-twitter-…

"Getting a true and honest signal when things are going wrong is critical for our organizations if we hope to see them stay relevant, successful and thriving. Look for problems. Reward and embrace honest feedback so that you can change." Jason A Cox jasonacox.com/wordpress/arch…

"Ask not just: How well does it work? But also: How well does it fail? What happens when something goes wrong? Jeremy Keith" by Miriam Suzanne oddbird.net/2022/11/11/pla…

"We are seeing too many organizations putting Kubernetes at the top of their compute decision matrix and therefore not realizing the full value of the CSP that they are deploying within." McKinsey & Company medium.com/digital-mckins…

"A good engineering organization moves at speed with high reliability. It doesn’t need to be a choice of one over the other. Many of the practices that enable teams to move quickly are the same practices that enable highly-reliabile systems." Naoya Tatsuzawa @ntcoding medium.com/nick-tune-tech…

"In service design, user research should be used to understand real life stages and context, not user needs that IT projects or existing products create." Ben Holliday hollidazed.co.uk/2017/07/14/lea… #userneeds

“With well-designed boundaries and the use of what #TeamTopologies calls ‘platforms’ there is no need to aim for ‘full stack’ at all. Instead, teams can aim for something like ‘enough stack' ” Matthew Skelton blog.container-solutions.com/how-to-build-a…

"Focusing on flow sets you free to manage the system, not the people. Instead of managing people and optimizing for business and resource efficiency, you can focus on managing and optimizing flow." Kari Kelly dandypeople.com/blog/flow-why-… #flow
