"Any organization that designs a system (defined broadly) will produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organization's communication structure." ( Melvin E. Conway, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_law )

This is unfortunately the death knell for DevOps organizational teams on large projects. Primarily, the design specification usually ends up being hammered into the inherent dysfunction the project was intended to solve in the first place.

Best of luck =)
