1-1: Enhance the reference to "Team Topologies"While there is an existing reference to "Team Topologies" in the "Interaction Forms by Team Topologies" section, the PR objectives specifically mention adding a noticeable reference to this book.
Consider adding a more prominent reference to "Team Topologies" at the beginning of the document. This could be done by adding a note or a callout box that highlights the influence of this book on the concepts discussed in this chapter. For example:
--- title: Team Interactions description: Large-scale organizations rely on a multitude of autonomous teams solving their respective domain problems in an efficient manner. --- # Team Interactions !!! note "Inspiration from Team Topologies" The concepts and strategies discussed in this chapter are heavily influenced by the book "Team Topologies" by Matthew Skelton and Manuel Pais. We highly recommend this book for a deeper understanding of team structures and interactions in software development organizations. <!-- Rest of the content... -->This addition would fulfill the PR objective of adding a noticeable reference to "Team Topologies" while providing context for readers about the influence of this book on the chapter's content.

34-44: Enhanced clarity in Team Size sectionThe modifications in the "Team Size" section improve the overall clarity and flow of the content. The rephrasing helps to better convey concepts such as Dunbar's number, cognitive load, and the impact of context switching on productivity. These changes contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing team size and efficiency.
46-104: Excellent addition of Internal Supporting Teams sectionThe newly added "Internal Supporting Teams" section is a significant and valuable contribution to the document. It successfully fulfills the PR objective of merging the "Internal Supporting Teams" chapter into the "Autonomous Teams" chapter. The content provides a comprehensive overview of three types of supporting teams: enabling teams, complicated-subsystem teams, and platform teams.
The inclusion of this section enhances the overall understanding of team structures within organizations. It offers insights into how these supporting teams can alleviate burdens from product teams and contribute to organizational efficiency.
The recommendation for the book "Team Topologies" at the end of the section (lines 97-104) is particularly noteworthy. It not only provides readers with a valuable resource for further learning but also aligns perfectly with the PR objective of adding a noticeable reference to this influential book.

105-121: Valuable addition of Team Topology Over Time sectionThe newly added "Team Topology Over Time" section is a significant enhancement to the document. It provides crucial insights into the dynamic nature of team structures and how they evolve in response to changing technologies, market practices, and internal skill sets.
This section effectively addresses important considerations for managing and evolving team topologies, including:
- The need to revisit team constellations periodically
- The importance of identifying and labeling internal supporting teams
- The varying requirements of different industries
- The financial considerations in creating and maintaining supporting teams
- The concept of offering platform and complicated-subsystem services at cost to product teams
These insights offer valuable guidance for organizations in maintaining effective team structures over time and ensuring that their internal ecosystem remains efficient and cost-effective.
