For the first time ever in Australia, learn about a visual language for communicating the direction of your organisation's development. This is our second event as Agility and Value Sydney.

**Session description**
Agilists have been creating lots of teams that work independently, a.k.a. autonomously. This has unintentionally led to creating new silos. Silos around services, internal platforms and other components. Silos around steps in the business process. This division of team scope and skills is usually considered the Agile norm until management questions why they are not realising the Agile promise at a scale that matters for business results.

The good news is that we now have a powerful tool for visualising your current state as well as designing and driving your journey toward what’s best for your business.

In this talk we introduce to Australia Org Topologies from Alexey Krivitsky, Roland Flemm and Craig Larman. Org Topologies is a framework-agnostic visual language for communicating the direction of your organisation’s development. We illustrate how it works using examples that take you from typical starting points for Agile adoption toward the most adaptive multi-team organisation conceivable.

Whether you are an Agile Coach, Scrum Master, transformation lead or manager, this session will provide insights on the level of agility that your current structure has and how you can accelerate conversations about improving it using a simple visual language.

Please don’t confuse this with Team Topologies – it’s a completely different perspective. In fact, you can gain insights about Team Topologies by visualising it using Org Topologies.

**Topics**
1. Introducing the Org Topologies axes.
2. Archetypes with low adaptability visualised.
3. Archetypes with high adaptability.
4. How you as a coach or change agent can use Org Topologies to improve your Agile ecosystem.

**Learning outcomes**
• Awareness of previously unrecognised silos due to the (deliberately limited) scope and skills of their teams.
• High-level familiarity with a powerful new tool – Org Topologies.
• Familiarity with how several popular Agile team structures look on the Org Topologies map – likely including one similar to their own.
• Understanding of the role that they play in using this tool as the centrepiece for improving their organisational ecosystem.
