Jurgen Desmet invited me for a coffee talk about architectures that enable shared code ownership and collaboration across many teams on his youtube channel.
The description accompanying the video
During a previous coffee talk on Conway’s Law Nelis and Jurgen briefly touched upon the aspect of Architectures that could enable teams to truly collaborate in a shared code environment, avoiding Conway’s Law effects as much as possible.
This is an elaboration on the Architecture part, what are the key elements of an architecture that enables true collaboration? What other conditions does this depends on? Let’s share some real-life experience from a Mobile app development environment.
