Fast Flow Conf NL 2025 - Everything about Team Topologies
FastFlowConf focuses on the approach and methodologies described in Team Topologies, by Matthew Skelton and Manuel Pais. Our mission is to bring together practitioners, experts and enthusiastic beginners to share knowledge and ideas, as well as to grow the community.
Fast Flow Conf NL 2025 - Ooops, we shut down the management group!
This is the story of a 20-year old Norwegian consulting company that took a plunge into the unknown world of applying Team Topologies in the wild, meaning applying its principles, patterns, and practices to the whole organization. Starting with the shutdown of their top management group! This is a story about being bold in strategy but mindful in execution.
Project to Product Open Forum - October
Building platforms for automotive embedded systems may feel different from those for high-frequency trading algorithms or highly secure government services. However, certain patterns and principles consistently distinguish those who will excel from those who will be mediocre at best.
Principles for Decision-Making and Team-of-Teams Design in Platform Orgs at Platform Engineering Meetup
Building platforms for automotive embedded systems may seem very different from those for high-frequency trading in FSI or secure government services. However, universal patterns distinguish top performers from the rest. After seven years of platform building and enabling rapid innovation, we've identified key insights. Join us in a conversation to explore how to create inspiring engineering environments that unleash full potential and creativity.
Key points/outcomes
Understanding “Platforms”: we will explore the differences between a platform and a platform service, as well as how platform definitions can vary across industries.
Complex Architectures and Team Structures: we will explore the complexities of engineering platforms that extend beyond the traditional full-stack single product team.
Platform team-of-team organization: we will go over a set of proven principles helping leaders deliver measurable business impact from their platform organizations
Project to Product Summit
The inaugural Project to Product Summit is positioned as a pivotal gathering for professionals navigating the challenges and opportunities of digital transformation in product delivery. This two-day event will explore essential strategies and practices that facilitate a successful transition from traditional project management to a more product-oriented framework, enabling organizations to deliver enhanced value in the digital age.
GOTO Copenhagen 2024
Join Manuel Pais for 2 days of Team Topologies masterclass (Sep 30 - Oct 1) and then from his keynote (Oct 2) you’ll gain actionable insights on designing team structures that foster better communication and collaboration.
Is your Org chart a Roadblock to Tech Delivery
Is Your Org Chart a Roadblock to Tech Delivery? with Susan Abishara, Luke McManus and Karthik Subbaiah
Join us for a thought-provoking discussion where our speakers will dive into the complexities of organisational structures and their impact on tech delivery. Discover how traditional hierarchies might be slowing down your projects and explore how reimagining your tech team dynamics can lead to a faster flow of value, rather than just a fast flow of features. We’ll discuss strategies to deliver customer value more effectively, transforming your org chart from a roadblock into a catalyst for optimal workflow.

PlatformCon 2024 - Manuel Pais on From Fragile to Antifragile Internal Platforms
Manuel Pais on "From Fragile to Antifragile Internal Platforms"
Manuel Pais will be delivering a keynote at this year’s edition of PlatformCon.
Don’t miss the the latest on platform-as-a-product, platform grouping of teams and acceleration of flow through proper design of platforms and the team interactions behind them.
Internal platforms are understood as a necessity in most organizations today. But they're often fragile and susceptible to economic downturns, changes in funding models, or changes in leadership focus.
Internal platforms are generally understood as a necessity in most organizations today. However, results are often underwhelming, and the investment becomes hard to measure or justify. This makes internal platforms fragile and susceptible to economic downturns, changes in funding models, or leadership focus.
So, what is needed to make internal platforms antifragile?
“Antifragility is a property of systems in which they increase in capability to thrive as a result of stressors, shocks, volatility, noise, mistakes, faults, attacks, or failures.”
Of course, the platform as a product approach is critical to help focus and prioritize (internal) customer needs. Continuously understanding the platform audience, building trust, and reducing blind spots are required to thrive.
However, sustainable platforms need to be able to withstand financial shocks as well. We need to deal with the reality that (end customer) products (usually) have clear revenue and unclear costs, while internal platforms (usually) have clear costs and unclear revenue. How do we avoid naïve/biased approaches to demonstrate platform value that overlooks the costs? How do we show the value perceived by decision-makers who might be sitting two or three degrees away in the organization?
Antifragile internal platforms grow on trust and 360º transparency to survive the inevitable stressors, failures, and misunderstandings. Chances are that mandates, blind standardization, and fuzzy “productivity” goals, among other issues, are eroding the trust foundations needed for platform sustainability in your organization.
