Listen "Conway's Law Is a Trap"
Episode Synopsis
Conway's Law says that any organization's system design reflects its communication structure. But is it really a law, or is it more of an observation?
Conway's Law is often misused by consultants attempting to create a mechanistic relationship between organizational and software structures (i.e. if one side changes, the other side will change too). But even though Conway's Law has “law” in the name, that's not quite how it works. But that doesn't mean it's not important to know about.
Whether you're new to Conway's Law or a seasoned professional, this episode will challenge your thinking and provide valuable insights into how to navigate the intricate relationship between organizational structure and software architecture
