Why I recommend this book:

This book provides the practical framework that organizational theory books often lack. The four team types (stream-aligned, enabling, platform, and complicated-subsystem) along with three interaction modes give you a clear language for designing team structures that actually enable fast flow. I’ve used Conway’s Law and the cognitive load concepts in this book to restructure teams and dramatically reduce dependencies. It’s the bridge between high-level organizational thinking and the day-to-day reality of building software with real teams.
