QUOTE : Conway’s law says: Any organization that designs a system will produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organization’s communication structure. A system that must be developed by an organization with many teams and many concerns must have an architecture that facilitates independent actions by those teams, so that the teams do not interfere with each other during development. This is accomplished by properly partitioning the system into well-isolated, independently developable components. Those components can then be allocated to teams that can work independently of each other.
