Defeating Conway's Law

Try using a platform to combat Conway’s Law and organizational friction caused by too many groups/silos. This matters because it removes the structural excuse for fragmentation. When a single platform surfaces all the controls a unified team needs, there is no longer a technical reason to keep five separate teams in five separate rooms. The organisational argument for siloes collapses alongside the technical one. Conway’s Law says that a system will be shaped - organization sub-divided - as a replica of the orgnonzatikn that built the system.
