Conway’s law tells us that during the discovery and rapid learning taking place as part of collaboration mode, the responsibilities and architecture of the software is likely to be more “blended together” compared to when the teams are interacting using X-as-a-Service. By anticipating this fuzziness, some awkward team interactions (“the API is not well designed” and so forth) can be avoided by tightening up the API as the team moves to X-as-a-Service.
