If you're interested in team sizing, dynamics and communication streamlining, you might be interested in the book Team Topologies by Matthew Skelton. It's an (admittedly opinionated) approach that attempts to solve some common issues with (software and ops) teams.

The book Team Topologies discusses Platform Engineering. They consider four core team types, and the platform team is one of those. Some more information about those types can be found here: https://teamtopologies.com/key-concepts-content/what-are-the...

I can definitely recommend this book for a (new) perspective on how platform teams fit into organizations.

I suppose link compilations like this have some value some times. But if you clicked on it because you're new to EM and keen, here are a few books that are much more helpful IMO:

- The Manager's Path, by Camille Fournier

- An Elegant Puzzle, by Will Larson

- Team Topologies, by Matthew Skelton and Manuel Pais

- Thinking in Systems, by Donella Meadows

- Also see: references cited in the above and other works by same authors

Disclaimer: Not a seasoned EM and definitely not the first to recommend these on HN.
