Scaling Engineering Teams across Continents

Three years ago, we scaled our engineering organization by adding two teams on another continent, forcing us to rethink how we worked across time zones, cultures, and growing ambiguity while still delivering at pace.

In this session, we’ll unpack the real challenges of that expansion and how we redesigned our structure using Team Topologies to optimize cognitive load and accelerate flow.

We’ll share hard-earned lessons, including painful missteps, and how insights from The Culture Map helped us close communication gaps, build trust, and collaborate effectively across continents, ultimately creating a more resilient and aligned global organization.
