AI Augmentation in Topologies

Source: content/manual/05-team-topologies/chapters/06-ai-augmentation-in-topologies.md

Purpose and scope

Show where and how AI fits across stream, enabling, platform, and subsystem teams.

Outcomes

  • Safer, targeted AI pilots.
  • Clear ownership and audit trails.
  • Measurable improvements without quality regressions.

Signals of trouble

  • Agents acting without owners.
  • Prompt drift and inconsistent outputs.
  • Throughput up, failure rate up.

Remediation steps

  1. Start with stream teams and low-risk tasks.
  2. Platform supplies tooling, policies, and logs; enabling teams coach.
  3. Expand to code changes after safety nets prove out.
