In 2019 Matthew Skelton and Manuel Pais’s published Team Topologies, which became a widely influential book in the software and DevOps communities, praised for its practical framework on organizing teams for fast flow and effectiveness. The book defines four fundamental team types (including enabling and platform teams). Team Topologies' popularity drove investment in enabling and platform teams, as organizations attempted to reduce cognitive load and support stream-aligned teams through better internal tooling and collaboration structures. Open Source Program Offices (OSPOs) and InnerSource Program Offices (ISPOs) are organizational units that enable open collaboration practices. In this talk, Clare will use the Team Topologies framework as a lens to understand how these program offices fit into an organization’s structure. This talk will explore how Team Topologies can provide a foundation for crafting a clear and compelling value proposition for OSPOs and ISPOs. It helps translate the often intangible or misunderstood work of these program offices into well-defined roles, interactions, and outcomes that resonate with business, engineering, and leadership audiences.
