on the map.
SAFe, LeSS, the Spotify model, Team Topologies, FaST and more, placed on one Org Topologies map. See what each is designed for, and choose the framework last.
WHY MAP FRAMEWORKS
Stop framework thinking
Framework thinking is the belief that installing an industry-standard framework will fix a struggling product organization. It rarely reaches the root causes, and implementations tend to focus on fitting people into the framework’s boxes.
Org Topologies offers radical clarity instead: one simple, unambiguous way to visualize any organization, a generic language for org design, and a clear vector toward high adaptiveness. Put a framework on the map and you see which topology it builds.
Choose the framework last: objectives → org goal → topology → framework.
Framework Mapping
See where each framework lands
Each mapping places a framework’s typical units on the 2x2 and shows the topology it tends to produce.
