Team Topologies: Organizing Business and Technology Teams for Fast Flow

Why this matters here

Matthew Skelton and Manuel Pais’s Team Topologies argues for clear team ownership and explicit interaction modes so change can flow without constant coordination overload. Coupling uses that ownership clarity after boundary discipline: teams can distinguish domain-rule failure from integration-adapter failure, shortening correction cycles under pressure. The source argues for team and interaction design; the book asks how weak boundaries create synchronization cost and blame diffusion.
