“Too much cognitive load will become a bottleneck for fast flow and high productivity for many DevOps teams.” QAware | 14 ■ Intrinsic Cognitive Load Relates to fundamental aspects and knowledge in the problem space (e.g. used languages, APIs, frameworks) ■ Extraneous Cognitive Load Relates to the environment (e.g. console command, deployment, configuration) ■ Germane Cognitive Load Relates to specific aspects of the business domain (aka. „value added“ thinking)

A Platform team and its engineers are a key enabler for high productivity of stream-aligned DevOps teams. QAware | 15 ■ Responsible to build and operation a platform to enable and support the teams in their day to day development work. ■ The platform aims to hide the inherent complexity to reduce the cognitive load for the other teams. – Standardization – Self-Service ■ Fully automated software delivery is the goal! https://hennyportman.wordpress.com/2020/05/25/review-team-topologies/
