Organizational Architecture: Three Factors 
•Conway's law 
•organizations which design systems ... are constrained to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations 
•Brook’s Law

Agile Manufacturing - Beyond Lean 
•Agile competition goes beyond the Japanese marketing strategies know as lean manufacturing by permitting the customer, jointly with the vendor or provider, to determine what the product will be. 
•For agile competitors, the ability to individualize products comes at little or no increase in manufacturing cost. It does, however exact a cost: It requires major changes in organization, management philosophy, and operations.
@ 
Agile Manifesto 
“We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it.” 
Through this work we have come to value: 
Individuals and interactions over Processes and tools 
Working software product over Comprehensive documentation 
Customer collaboration over Contract negotiation 
Responding to change over Following a plan 
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.

F35 Delayed by Software Problems 
•$143 Billion over budget 
•At least another year late 
•The cost of the Navy's F35C grew from $273 million in 2014 to a wallet-busting $337 million by 2015.

Good Example of Conway’s Law 
World’s Best Stealth Fighter is not Made in America 
•Saab JAS 39E Gripen 
•All systems radically improved, cheaper than previous version 
•Cost $43M (80% less than F35) 
•Just won in Brazil, may beat F35 in Denmark 
•Agile development using Scrum
