Peter Lam - Team Topologies Advocate

I help complex organizations unblock and accelerate delivery across portfolios, programs, and technology. I have led the implementation of modern, proven ways of working to:

  • Recover complex programs

  • Integrate strategy and performance across portfolios

  • Scale new ways of working across large organizations

These transformation initiatives have reduced costs, driven regulatory compliance, and met critical market commitments for major enterprises and government departments.

I have held leadership roles such as Head of Projects, Head of Delivery, Center of Expertise (CoE) Lead (Program Delivery & Ways of Working), Program Manager, and Enterprise Agile Coach.

With a strong track record in Telco, Banking, Utilities, Retail, and Federal Government, I specialize in Transformation and Complex Delivery at scale.

My commitment to growing the industry and my track record of delivery were recognized when I was appointed the Oceania representative for the Agile20Reflect Festival, celebrating 20 years of the Agile Manifesto.

Over the past 10+ years, I have actively shared knowledge through teaching, speaking engagements, and community-building, including:

  • Agile Australia – One of the largest Agile conferences in the Southern Hemisphere, where I contribute as a Track Chair, Speaker Shepherd, and regular attendee.

  • Project Management Community – Frequent speaker at PMI and AIPM events, and founder of Agile PM Meetup Melbourne, one of Australia’s largest PM groups (5,200+ members since 2013).

I was introduced to Team Topologies, Matthew Skelton and the ideas when I was working at a large corporate around 2019 / 2020.  The ideas were interesting and we started to test them with our teams with some success

  • Peter followed up by hosting Team Topologies and Luke McManus to celebrate the launch of the APAC Region

  • He has been sharing examples and stories with Product Conferences and teams

  • Peter has been working with customers to introduce these ideas with workshops to help people understand the simple changes that can be made to accelerate delivery flow
