Always proud to share the great feedback we receive about the Team Topologies Academy courses. Patrick Debois, shared his thoughts on the "Effective EnablingTeams" course by Manuel Pais & Eduardo da Silva.
In this talk, Eduardo discusses a concept he has been working on called "Architecture Topologies", a set of thinking models and practices to help organisations understand and improve their approaches to architecture. Having explicit language to do that is essential:

More than happy to, but it will take a while as there's quite a few. But if you're patient, I will share them in this thread.
Breaking the silo: In last year's talk, @esilva.net shared how connecting teams—architects, product managers, and engineering managers—closer together fostered clearer communication and ownership across multi-team activities, driving better collaboration and results.
Learn to balance legacy system evolution, and feature development, and avoid complex hybrid systems. @nick-tune.me & @esilva.net share their experiences in executing architecture modernization. Buy your ticket! www.agile-meets-architecture.com/sessions/202...

This article quotes (among other things) our scopes diagram from a 2002 paper. Which @ceilfors.com recently dubbed the “rainbow diagram” — which is lovely! :)
This principle matches @ruthmalan.bsky.social and Dana Bredemeyer's "minimalist architecture". More on this in this great article by @esilva.net: esilva.net/tla_insights...
đź’ˇI love @simon.bvssh.com's framing of enterprise architecture (and his continuous work on modernizing the topic): It is all about aligning (and considering) the business architecture, organizational structure, and systems architecture. Approaching things in isolation will lead to subpar outcomes!

Triggered by a great tip by @ruthmalan.bsky.social I think I'll redo my "Sociotechnical principle of the day" thread from Twitter here. I'll post one each...day.
