Inverse Conway Maneuver¶

The Inverse Conway Maneuver is the strategic decision to reorganize teams before or alongside a technical decomposition, ensuring that the new team structure reinforces rather than undermines the target architecture. Without it, a monolith broken apart by an unchanged organization tends to reassemble itself over time, because the communication patterns that produced the original coupling are still in place. In practice this means defining Bounded Contexts first, then aligning team ownership to those boundaries, and only then migrating the code.
