Conway's Law

Закон Конвея · Law

The product architecture repeatedly mirrors organizational boundaries.

Why use it

Connect organizational design with the design of the system being built.

General workflow

  1. Describe the current situation and the outcome you need.
  2. Apply Conway's Law to the real data, participants, and constraints of the situation.
  3. Record the conclusion, next action, owner where relevant, and a criterion for checking the result.

This is a brief reference card. The general steps help organize the work but do not replace a detailed guide to the method.

Output

A clearer view of how organizational structure shapes system design.
