FFC NL 2025 TALKS

What if AI doesn't just change how we build software, but fundamentally transforms how we organise teams? Most discussions about AI focus on tools and techniques, but the real revolution is organisational - smaller, more capable stream-aligned teams with blurred boundaries and enhanced superpowers. This talk paints a vision for AI-first Team Topologies where designers become rapid prototypers, developers transcend traditional skill boundaries, and product managers gain customer insights without endless interviews. Platform teams evolve from infrastructure providers to creators of malleable intelligent tools that amplify every team's capabilities. Drawing from early implementations across multiple organisations, I'll share emerging patterns for this future: stream-aligned teams that are smaller yet more powerful, enablement teams that bridge the AI capability gap, and platform teams that provide governance and intelligence layers rather than just vendor integrations. You'll leave inspired with a vision for how your organisation could evolve, and practical first steps for your enablement teams to begin this transformation while maintaining the fast flow principles that make teams effective.
