Scrum or Team Topologies?What if the real power comes when they work together?
In Malta, many teams aren’t resisting cross-functionality, they’re simply lacking the support structure to get there.We’ve seen it: removing Scrum Masters, overloading teams, and expecting “self-management” to magically happen.
But without facilitation, that shift often leads to burnout, not breakthrough.As systems thinker Gerald Weinberg said:
“Quality is inversely proportional to the number of tasks assigned to a worker.”
Research shows context switching can slash productivity by up to 40%.So how can we fix this?
Scrum gives rhythm, reflection & coaching. Team Topologies gives structure, clarity & scalable interaction.Together, they help teams thrive by design, not by accident.
What do you think?– Have you worked in a team that had structure but no facilitation… or vice versa?
