Team topology mapping classifies software teams as Stream-aligned, Enabling, Complicated Subsystem, or Platform to optimize fast flow. It assesses organizational design by evaluating cognitive load and checking architectural boundaries against Conway's Law.
Assess team cognitive load by evaluating intrinsic, extraneous, and germane load to identify overloads. This assessment provides recommended mitigations to reduce cognitive burden and streamline software delivery across your teams.
Audit team interactions by classifying communication modes as Collaboration, X-as-a-Service, or Facilitating. This interaction audit surfaces coupling risks between teams to ensure clear architectural and governance boundaries.
Apply Conway's Law checks to ensure your software architectural boundaries align with team boundaries. This alignment process validates that organizational communication structures support the intended system design and flow.
The best way to run a team design exercise is using a repeatable five-step workflow. This workflow maps current teams, evaluates cognitive load, audits interactions, applies Conway's Law checks, and generates actionable recommendations.
Record team topology assessment results in the canvas/team-shape.yml file. Updating this canvas provides a structured output of your organizational design evaluation and actionable recommendations.
