Scale teams by following the inverse Conway’s law

Field feedback from the community

La loi de Conway chez LeBonCoin

LeBonCoin

Before applying the principle

"Every aspect of a company shapes its culture, which in turn affects its decisions and impacts on its overall capabilities. What might seem like a purely technical decision — such as the choice of programming language, repository setup, or tooling — can have a profound impact on the company’s culture. We can view this as an extension of Conway’s law: The structure of your repositories, like other technical decisions, dictates certain communication patterns within your teams, just as strategic focus influences team alignment."
