Abstract
The book Team Topologies Second Edition (2025) demonstrates convincingly that organizing business and technology for fast flow of value via empowered teams produces outsized results for enterprises worldwide. As evidence from AI adoption spreads, it’s clear that organizations that already organize for bounded agency in humans are well-suited to adopting AI effectively and humanely.
The core principles from Team Topologies - organizing and empowering teams around independently-viable services, making cognitive load a key design principle, and making capabilities available via clear “vending machine” interfaces - translate superbly into the AI space by providing guardrails and heuristics for effective AI agency.
In this talk, Matthew Skelton - co-author of the groundbreaking book Team Topologies - shares deep insights about how organizations can find success with AI by using the patterns and principles from Team Topologies, based on experience with hundreds of organizations worldwide.
