About

Every product reflects the organization that built it – whether you planned it or not. Conway's Law isn't just a technical curiosity; it's a daily reality for design leaders working inside complex, siloed organizations. This session explores how to recognize Conway's Law in action, understand its impact on design and product outcomes, and navigate organizational structure strategically – even without the authority to change it. Real cases, hard-won patterns, actionable takeaways.
