Exactly. Conway's Law is descriptive not prescriptive!
- bradwood 4y agoQuite. And many people still seem to confuse this. The way to exploit Conway's law is not to do anything _technical_ but rather to do something _organisational_. The "Reverse Conway Manoeuvre" is the term, IIRC, for this. Rather than trying to "build something along the lines of Conway's law" (which doesn't really make sense) -- one should determine a desired architecture and then set up the _organisation_ and teams to mirror that.
