The Financial Architecture of Software with Ian Miell

In this episode, Thomas Betts speaks with Ian Miell about how the financial aspects of a business affect how software is designed and built. If Conway’s Law says organizational structures determine the software design, then following the money helps us understand why those organization structures exist, and ultimately whether software will be successful in achieving its goals.
