### AI overview

A conference talk argues for moving from product-focused autonomous teams to value centers, with organizational design shaped by value and its dependencies. It frames agency and coherence as a trade-off and uses the Viable Systems Model to suggest five questions for teams.

### Source excerpt

Autonomous teams are an article of faith in modern software development. The shape of our value determines what we can do; it determines our trade-offs between agency and coherence. We all have a purpose, and we all have agency to do something, hence the suggestion is moving from product focus to value center thinking. By Ben Linders
