What it covers
- Stream-Aligned Team Give one long-lived team a business capability and everything needed to deliver it, from the screens to the data.
- You Build It, You Run It The team that builds a service also deploys it, watches it and answers the pager for it.
- Inverse Conway Maneuver Shape the teams first, the way you want the architecture to look, because the system will end up mirroring how its teams communicate.
- Platform Team Provide the foundations of each layer, such as templates, chassis and runtime, as a self-service product so product teams can build without knowing all the plumbing.
- Enabling Team A small team of specialists that coaches other teams in a skill, such as security or performance, for a while, then moves on.
- Complicated-Subsystem Team Give a part of the system that needs deep specialist knowledge, such as pricing models or video encoding, its own team of specialists.
- Team Interaction Modes Decide on purpose how two teams work together, by collaborating, using a service or getting coaching, and for how long.
- Conway's Law lab Organise the same product by layer, by capability, with or without a platform, or into tiny teams. Watch handovers, cognitive load and lead time change, then let the work cross your team boundaries.
