Totally agree. The best succinct summary of Conway’s Law I've heard is “you ship your org chart.”

I like "the org chart is the asymptote," i.e. it's the best you could possibly do, and your reality will actually be worse. (see Casey Muratori)

Which is a good way to word it because if your org chart is screwy enough you won't ship at all.
