It’s always encouraging to see how Team Topologies for Managers helps organizations reflect and evolve.

That “you can’t unsee it” moment often marks the start of lasting improvement — when clarity in team design changes how we think about collaboration and effectiveness.
Organizations that understand this will use AI to augment human capabilities, not diminish them. They'll enable people to fulfill their potential while scaling innovation safely and sustainably.

We'd like to hear from you: How do you integrate AI?
Human teams will increasingly define missions and oversee AI agent fleets. The architecture of trust and autonomy we've built for human collaboration becomes the blueprint for human-AI collaboration.

Handoffs kill flow whether they're between human teams OR between human and AI groups.
Just as we trust autonomous human teams to deliver, we can trust groups of AI agents—but only when managed with the same rigor:
🟢 Clear domain boundaries
🟢 Constrained operating contexts
🟢 Explainable decisions
🟢 Clear audit trails
🟢 A sense of stewardship
As AI transforms knowledge work at an unprecedented pace, one question dominates boardroom conversations: How do we integrate AI while keeping our people at the center?

The Second Edition of Team Topologies offers a compelling answer: treat AI agents like we treat high-performing human teams.
You can explore these aspects in this free video from our latest course "Remote and Hybrid Team Interactions". www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXsR...

A curated experience means that we provide value by focusing on reducing the cognitive load for users by making the platform easy to use.

Often this means simplifying the use of external software and services, through useful internal abstractions and workflows.
"The platform is first and foremost a curated experience for its users, usually engineers in internal teams. We must design the platform with the user in mind, with a strong focus on the user experience and developer experience.
Companies like Creditas, adidas, and Singapore's GovTech are already winning by moving fast while staying deeply human.
