Team topology designer

Map your engineering org to the four fundamental team types and the three core interaction modes. Stop guessing who owns what.

Stream-aligned

Own a slice of the product end-to-end. Funded by a value stream, not a project budget.

Enabling

Accelerate stream-aligned teams by reducing cognitive load. Ship tooling, not mandates.

Complicated-subsystem

Deep expertise where generalists would drown. Thin API surface, thick internal rigor.

Platform

Treat the platform as a product. Self-service, not ticket-driven.

Interaction modes

  • Collaboration — two teams work together for a bounded period
  • X-as-a-Service — one team consumes another with clear API boundaries
  • Facilitating — enabling team unblocks a stream-aligned team
