Architecture and Organization: Inverse Conway and Team Topologies

Software architecture and organizational design are deeply interconnected. Conway’s Law captures this relationship, while the Inverse Conway Maneuver uses it to shape architecture through team structures. Team Topologies adds a practical model for designing effective team interactions and boundaries. This talk explores how organizational decisions directly influence architectural outcomes — and why integrating Team Topologies into your architectural strategy is probably critical. You’ll learn how purposeful team design can reduce cognitive load, improve system modularity, and create architectures that evolve more sustainably.
