small_orange_diamond:^PDF - Melvin E. Conway, Datamation magazine 1968. The original article defining Conway's Law.

Each team is responsible for one or more business functions (e.g. business capabilities). A team owns a code base consisting of one or more modules. Its code base is sized so as to not exceed the cognitive capacity of team. The team deploys its code as one or more services. A team should have exactly one service unless there is a proven need to have multiple services.
