This talk is an experience report from numerous transformations towards the ideas of Team Topologies.

Over the last years I have helped several organizations to work with Team Topologies. The activities were very diverse. Often it was about the identification of suitable team boundaries and the establishment of different Team Topologies such as Stream-aligned, Enabling, Complex Subsystem or Platform Teams and the appropriate modes of interaction to achieve a fast flow. The continuous evolution of the org model was also a frequent topic.

During these activities, some facets have emerged that work well, but also some challenges that are not mentioned in the book by Matthew Skelton and Manuel Pais. Examples of this would be salary bands, the role of HR or the topic of budget planning for the teams.

I will discuss these topics and many others in this presentation to give you valuable tips for working with Team Topologies.
