Alongside this, we are working hard to build and grow the Team Topologies community, sharing what we have learned and bringing together the wonderful people that operate in this space.

What is Team Topologies?

Team Topologies is a clear, easy-to-follow iterative approach to modern software delivery with an emphasis on optimising business and technology team interactions for flow.

Leaders and their teams have told us they find it a refreshing approach both to avoiding ‘big bang’, hit (but often miss) reorganisations and also to building in-house capabilities to react to future challenges.


What is flow?

Value flows in one direction, from the business through to operations on to the customer. The goal is to maximise the efficiency of flow of work through the entire system.

What stops organisations from achieving flow?

Structural issues are often the biggest blockers to faster flow and can occur at any level of the organisation.

Long-lived and legacy systems can also be obstacles, as can missing capabilities.

Lots of organisations know they’re blocked. Many of them have implemented initiatives to remove these blockers but find that fast flow remains elusive.

There are often reasons for this. For example, they focus on team types, rather than how those teams will interact with each other.

How we help

We have a proven approach to helping organisations achievefaster flow.It’s not always linear; some organisations want to be more aware, others need leadership support to establish the right patterns and practices, and some are ready for us to accelerate their teams.We focus where you need us to.

We are a small team and we want to keep our software engineers focused on product development. With AK we were able to ring fence the whole project and hand it over. Although the problem required a bespoke solution it didn’t feel difficult. The whole platform was designed, built, and managed with minimum input required from us

Armakuni made a significant impact. While they improved team productivity and quality, what stood out was their in-depth assessment of our engineering capability. Their report highlighted key risks we hadn't identified and guided our strategic decisions for years.

Armakuni is a professional and skilled consultancy in a field crowded with less reliable players.

Comic Relief

When I was COO of Comic Relief, I faced significant technology challenges, including outdated donation processes. I commissioned Armakuni to build a state-of-the-art donation platform, and they exceeded expectations. Delivered on time and within budget, the platform contributed to Comic Relief surpassing £100m in donations for the first time. Their work remains vital to this day.

I highly recommend Armakuni.
