    Jun 9 2022

    Jun 3 2022

    Conway's Law contends that organizations design systems that mirror their communication structures. It's therefore vital to structure teams in a way that supports both the software architecture you'd like to see as well as the communication apparatus you'd like to have. Today, we'll address listeners' questions on how best to structure teams for managerial and organizational success.

    May 26 2022
