Team Topologies for Building and Operating Agentic Platforms
By
Olivier Wulveryck
Summary
This article explores the organizational and team structure needed to build and maintain an agentic platform—a system where AI agents plan, code, test, and ship software at scale. Building on the concept of the "agentic factory" from a previous article, it applies Team Topologies principles to define which teams build the platform versus which teams consume it, and how they interact. The article addresses the fundamental question of "who does what" in the context of agentic AI development, focusing on team boundaries, interaction modes, and organizational design for reliable AI-powered application delivery.

· 3 pulledThe agentic platform defines what needs to be provided. Team Topologies defines who provides it, and how teams interact to make it happen.
But a platform does not build itself, and more importantly, it is not consumed the same way it is built.
A fundamental question remains: who does what?
