#Cognitiveload has a huge effect on the ability of teams to properly own & evolve the systems they are building & running, so how can managers help to reduce #teamcognitiveload? The most important step is for managers to provide a single, consistent stream of domain-focused work into the team.

What a week!

I wanted to share with you two interesting things

🎙️an interview on my experience making decisions guided by #TeamCognitiveLoad at @ThoughtworksESP podcast
👥 The first #FastFlowBCN meetup where we spoken about what prevents flow

https://learnings.aleixmorgadas.dev/p/podcast-about-team-cognitive-load

How can we reduce extraneous cognitive load?

Creating an ecosystem of teams that can help reduce each other’s cognitive load is a powerful approach to the problem. However, changing team structures takes time and is definitely not the ONLY thing we can do.

Manuel Pais and Matthew Skelton will explain about other ways to reduce #TeamCognitiveLoad in their "#Team Topologies for Managers" course from the @TeamTopologies Academy.

The next images show a simplification of how we were using #teamcognitiveload and #teamtopologies fundamental team types and interaction modes to enable fast flow of change.

We used the Team-Cognitive-Load-Assessment to understand the team cognitive load in a quarterly basis.

Based on the survey responses, we gather insights that were converted into initiatives with a desired outcome description.

When executed those initiatives, we might reached our desired outcome but we also had undesired consequences.

As any #complexSystem, we cannot say doing X, we will move from point A to B. But we can say, by doing X, we want to be closer to the desired end state.

We need to track the consequences and act on them.

It was painfully hard to gather all the data and have an historic overtime, that's why we started https://teamcognitiveload.com.

We aim to provide a tool based on #teamtopologies and #teamcognitiveload to provide insights to make informed decisions and track the consequences of those initiatives overtime.

Wouldn't be cool to know how your organization evolved overtime and how your decisions helped to enable fast flow of change?
