Strong insights for newborn teams

The structure of the book is very theoretical. Lot of useful information. Not so good reading performance. Thank you.

A book that would be better to read then listen to

The book refers to a lot of diagrams that one would benefit from seeing

Fascinating read

Great book, really easy to follow even though Im not in the field. think the concepts apply to general business beyond just Software Engineering.
Felt the narration might have been picked for the American readers.

Excellent content, narrator brings the overall experience down however.

About to start my third cover-to-cover session.

Teams First!

Manuel and Mathew have one of freshest views on software development organizations I have seen in a while. This is not another [something] first, the is a grounded view on how team types and they way they interact has a major impact on the outcome of any software (and I'd go as far as saying any) systems. Very well written and easy to follow, if a little repetitive at times.

Can be dangerous

I had an epiphany when listening to this, that, if said to my boss and his bosses, might get me fired.

Useful concepts - a bit abstract

The concepts about team structure influencing flow and technical architecture make a lot of sense, and I am sure a lot of benefit can be gained by implementing them in the right way. However, I found it all quite abstract, with a lack of concrete examples, and therefore hard to understand what it really means in practice and how to implement it.
It would be great to have plenty of examples of the right and wrong way to implement each element.

An excellent starting point to organize teams

A good guide to help you organizations to achieve a good team architecture.
the concepts are simple to understand and the logic behind is simple to relate with the reality in most organizations.

Teams-first approach is worth considering for any software developing organization

The emphasis on teams-first approach to software engineering bounded by the cognitive load and team interaction patterns is worth familiarizing with for any organization engaging in a nontrivial software development activity. One of the most memorable pieces: "Dispending well performing team is worse than vandalism", cannot disagree. Well-written, concise, sound. Features a fair number of case studies, although I personally would prefer (some of) them to go deeper into the details of the case.

Fairly technical and a bit dry, but still good

Fairly technical and a bit dry, but still good. I liked the simplicity but could be more engaging
