Accelerate the adoption and evolution of fast flow and Team Topologies within your organization through deep insights into the key ideas and techniques that work well "on the ground".

The principles of fast flow underlying Team Topologies are unfamiliar to people in many organizations. Decades of treating IT like a cost center have left execs and management with incomplete awareness of the benefits of parallel exploration, autonomous teams, ubiquitous APIs, and ongoing exploration of team and system boundaries.

This Masterclass provides practical techniques that help to demonstrate and embed fast flow approaches within an organization, thereby accelerating the adoption of fast flow and Team Topologies.

What You'll Master

• Deep insights into fast flow and Team Topologies

• Hands-on experience with tools and techniques

• Confidence in explaining the nuances

• Team Topologies modeling for organization dynamics

• Advanced awareness of platform dynamics

• Independent Service Heuristics session facilitation

• Fast flow skills pathways mapping

“I really appreciated the highly interactive way of working with the two expert facilitators from Conflux and the insights they gave in dos and don’ts when practicing Team Topologies. These discussions helped me to see the contexts where Team Topologies is suitable and made me realize that Team Topologies is more a pattern language than it is a framework, providing adaptability for organizations pursuing digital excellence. Highly recommended.”

— Pieter Reijniers, Digital Transformation Expert and Coach
