How often does major reorganization happen? For most companies the answer is never.

The "what if" argument is what leads to all sorts of premature optimizations.

I've had three reorgs in the past six months. Each one changed our projects and priorities.

Yeah, didn't get a lot done...

For most companies – regularly.

The kind of reorg we're talking about here is not the typical musical chairs, but a full realignment. This happens a lot less frequently in my experience.

reorgs usually happen higher up the tree in larger companies, been through a bunch and its never affected any part of our work.

Reorgs rarely happen.

But the need for them does :)
