Conway's Law: When Best Practices Are Not Enough By Julien Topçu

Your users are still struggling to retrieve the information they need, despite you have done everything to model your domain and ease the user experience? Although you follow best practices, did you ever noticed that the software often deviates from the product design, the technical vision and sometimes the software quality is even below expectations? What if we told you that all of this is linked ? There is a force that has an important influence on your product, your user experience, the quality of your software and your architecture ! During this talk, come and discover the Conway's Law that has a magical power over what you build, whatever your job profile is. We will see the impacts of this law on the different aspects of the software based on scientific studies and feedbacks from the field collected over the years. JULIEN TOPÇU I like to craft software with high business value using techniques from Domain-Driven Design, all powered by Xtreme Programming in the Kanban #NoEstimates philosophy. Member of the OWASP foundation, I evangelise on application security techniques in order to avoid being hacked properly.
