A Lei de Conway: por que a sua arquitetura é o espelho da sua organização

Melvin Conway established in 1968 that any organization designing a system produces a design mirroring its own communication structure. This principle is a non-technological constraint that persists despite software tools. For instance, if a payments team fails to communicate with a risk analysis team, the resulting API interactions and application dependency graphs will reflect this silence. Consequently, software architecture inevitably becomes a direct reflection of the corporate organizational structure and its internal communication patterns.
