Team Topology Advisor

Diagnose team-structure friction and redesign your organisation around flow, ownership, and sustainable cognitive load. Based on Team Topologies by Skelton & Pais, extended with field patterns.

Your Org Chart Is Your Architecture

The Problem

  • Teams are structured around components, not value streams
  • Cross-team dependencies create handoff delays and blame cycles
  • Cognitive load is invisible — teams own too many domains
  • Platform capabilities are duplicated across feature teams

What We Do Differently

  • Team Topologies assessment (stream-aligned, platform, enabling, complicated-subsystem)
  • Cognitive load analysis per team based on domains, services, and context switching
  • Dependency mapping with interaction mode recommendations
  • Restructuring options with trade-off analysis for your context

The Process

From Assessment to Action Plan

1

Map Your Organisation

Describe team structure, product domains, and current ownership model.

2

Assess Load & Dependencies

Quantify cognitive load, dependency patterns, and communication overhead across teams.

3

Get Topology Recommendations

Receive team type assignments, boundary recommendations, interaction mode suggestions, and a migration path.

Why This Is Different

Beyond the book

Extends Team Topologies with practical patterns from real enterprise reorganisations — not just theory.

Cognitive load is quantified

Most assessments mention cognitive load. This one measures it based on domains, services, and switching frequency.

Migration path included

Getting from current state to target topology requires sequencing. The tool provides a phased migration plan.
