<p><strong><a href="https://medium.com/ft-product-technology/unlocking-value-with-durable-teams-a70efb435a19">Unlocking value with durable teams</a></strong></p> Anna Shipman describes the FT’s experience switching from project-based teams to “durable” teams—teams which own a specific area of the product. Lots of really smart organizational design thinking in this. I’ve seen how much of a difference it makes to have every inch of a complex system “owned” by a specific team. I also like how Anna uses the term “technical estate” to describe the entirety of the FT’s systems. <p><small></small>Via <a href="https://twitter.com/annashipman/status/1277563031287971841">@annashipman</a></small></p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/management">management</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/annashipman">annashipman</a></p>
