Team topologies: Organizing teams for fast flow | Manuel Pais, co-author of Team Topologies

My guest today is Manuel Pais.
Manuel is the co-author of the masterpiece book "Team Topologies: organizing business and technology teams for fast flow".
He's recognized by TechBeacon as a DevOps thought leader, and is today an independent consultant and trainer, focused on team interactions, delivery practices and accelerating flow.
We covered a lot on Team Topologies, including some questions and comments from Lyse and Shibsted (read the full case here):
Different types of teams and interaction modes, and why it's important to define them in your org
Differences between "streams" and "products", and the importance of having stream-aligned teams able to discover and deliver as independently as possible
Why team topologies should be seen as an ongoing model, with a mindset of experimentation, sensing, and responding (avoiding the "big reorg" antipattern)
Conway's law and why it matters
Navigating infrastructure changes and team topologies
How to identify your streams using independence service heuristics
How Shibsted organized itself in independent verticals and why value-stream thinking is important to achieve faster flow
Product Ops teams as Enabling Teams
Implementing and scaling enabling teams (with an example of data science teams)
Common antipatterns when adopting team topologies
I love Manuel and Mathew's work, and see it as one of the most important contributions to the tech industry in the past few years.
