Don't remember the name of this adage, but there's one that says "The structure of a project tends to reflect the structure of the organization responsible for it" - e.g. software modules tend to reflect organizational structure much more closely than they reflect separation of concerns (though, of course, the organizational structure itself reflects a separation of concerns). In my experience, that is definitely true. This piece is, in many senses, another look at the same phenomenon.
