Systems Thinking by combining Team Topologies with Context Maps

Liebe DDD Community in Stuttgart,

nach den Sommerferien ist es endlich wieder so weit. Wir treffen uns bei Futurice in Stuttgart mit DDD-Ikone Michael Plöd von INNOQ.

Michael spricht über die Herausforderung Organisation, Teams und Architektur bestmöglich aufeinander abzustimmen.

Ein interessantes Thema, das viele von uns bewegt. Wir freuen uns auf euch! Der Vortrag wird in englischer Sprache gehalten.

Liebe Grüße,

Matthias

Dear DDD Community in Stuttgart,

after the summer vacation, it is finally time again. We will meet at Futurice in Stuttgart with DDD Icon Michael Plöd from INNOQ.

Michael talks about the challenge of aligning organizations, teams, and architecture in the best possible way.

It is an exciting topic that moves many of us. I am looking forward to meeting you! The talk will be held in English.

Best regards, Matthias

Abstract

Team Topologies and Context Maps are two interesting approaches to visualize sociotechnical architectures. However, using each method on its own you will not be able to capture a truly holistic view of the system as a whole, but you can use both in combination and this is what this talk is about.

This talk will introduce a Systems Thinking perspective on those two approaches and explain how both can be leveraged in combination to get a deep dive on many interactions in a system of teams and software. Those interactions include:

- team relationships

- team dependencies

- propagation of domain models

- governance related communication

- provisioning of APIs / services

However we will also look at the components of the system with Team Topologies being team centric and Context Maps being bounded context centric.

I will finally explain how you can use both methods to visualize alignments between domains, bounded contexts and teams.

This talk assumes that you have a basic understanding of strategic Domain Driven Design (esp. Bounded Contexts and Context Maps)
