Unlocking Flow: Combining Team Topologies and Platform Engineering at ASML IT
In an IT landscape of 3,500 people, getting things done often felt like navigating a maze of shared services and dependencies. To address this, we used a cross-functional approach, leveraging Team Topologies and Platform Engineering to pinpoint pain points and enable better collaboration. Our analysis revealed that streamlining dependencies in shared services was key to unlocking value flow.
In this session, we’ll share how our non-technical, workshop-driven approach energized teams and leadership to take meaningful steps toward professionalizing their platforms. While we’re in the early stages and measurable benefits are yet to come, the enthusiasm and alignment we've seen so far are powerful indicators of progress. Join us to explore practical strategies for building momentum in large IT environments, reduce dependency bottlenecks, and inspire teams to drive change.
