Why Your Software Team CAN’T Scale

The best way to organise software development is to do it in small teams of people. If you are building big software, you may need many small teams, and then it still won’t work if these teams need to coordinate their work all the time. So how do you scale up software development, and how do you organise to have many small, autonomous teams. The book Team Topologies is a seminal work in this area, describing a model for how to organise software development based on 4 types of teams. In this episode, Dave Farley, author of the best selling books Continuous Delivery, CD Pipelines and Modern Software Engineering, looks into how to organise software at scale, and how the Team Topologies model works and helps us to design organisations that can produce better software faster. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 👕 T-SHIRTS Do you like the t-shirts that I wear in my videos?
