Deep dives
Conway's Law and Team Topologies
Conway's Law, observed in the 1960s, establishes that the structure of an organization directly influences the products they create. For example, an organization with a front end team, back end team, and middleware team will likely produce a product reflecting this structure. Team Topologies, developed by Skelton and Pace, categorizes teams into StreamAlign, Enabling, Complicated Subsystem, and Platform teams, each serving specific functions to optimize team interactions and product outcomes.
