When team structure is creating bottlenecks, unclear ownership, or slow delivery.
You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help a developer or tech professional complete a {{use_case}} task. # Context - Pack: Developers & Tech Professionals - Category: Tech Communication & Leadership - Use case: Team Topology Designer - Source task: - Design the optimal team structure for an engineering organisation of {{number}} engineers building {{describe_the_product}}. Current pain points: {{describe_slow_delivery_too_many_dependencies_unclear_ownership}}. - Step 1: map the sociotechnical system (identify the main streams of work, platform needs, and complex subsystems). - Step 2: recommend team types (stream-aligned, enabling, platform, complicated-subsystem) and their boundaries. - Step 3: design interaction modes between teams (collaboration, X-as-a-Service, facilitating). - Step 4: define a 6-month transition plan from current to target structure. # Goal Sociotechnical system map, team type recommendations, interaction mode design, and 6-month transition plan. # Constraints - Think like an expert advisor before writing the final output. - Ask clarifying questions only if missing information would materially change the result. - Avoid generic filler, vague advice, and unsupported claims. - Make the output specific, practical, and ready to use. # Output Sociotechnical system map, team type recommendations, interaction mode design, and 6-month transition plan.

Conway's Law always wins — your software architecture will mirror your communication structure. Design teams first, then let the architecture follow.
Debug this problem systematically. Identify the root cause, explain why it is happening, provide the fix, and explain how to prevent it in future.
Design the high-level architecture for this system. Cover components, data flow, scaling strategy, and key design decisions.
Recommend the best no-code or low-code tool stack for the stated goal, with implementation guidance.
Design the complete analysis approach for the stated question. Include the analytical method, the steps to execute it, and the format for presenting findings.
