28. Solution: Aligned Teams
Alignment = Intent + Rational + Constraints

29. Intent: We need to cross the river
Rational: There are more food on the other side
Constraints: Don’t cut any trees
What? Why? Restrictions on How?
Alignment = Intent + Rational + Constraints

30. Do what I
say!
Do
whatever
Autonomy
Alignment
False Dichotomy!

Aligned Autonomy

32. Alignment is not enough to enable Autonomy

33. Autonomy is enabled by
Alignment AND Competence

34. Competence means
Shared Work Beliefs AND Technical Excellence

The End
Stay Autonomous, Aligned and Competent
