This lesson is planned. The outline below lists the topics it will cover. The full lesson has not been published yet.
In this lesson
shape the teams to produce the architecture you want.
Planned topics
- Inverse Conway: design team boundaries to match the target architecture.
- Reorganizing without architectural change moves the problem; changing architecture without team change fails.
- Align teams to business domains from the context map, with clear ownership of data and interfaces.
- Phase the change; move ownership first, then code, then interfaces.
Draft outline details
Demonstration
target context map (ordering, inventory, seller, payments) next to the proposed team boundaries, with the interfaces each team will own.
Check your understanding
