Mission-Driven
Structure
Continually design teams in service of a clear mission
Clarify the Mission | Be focused on what we’re trying to achieve, not how we’re going to achieve it |
STEP
DESCRIPTION
Group work into roles | Organize the work to be done into logical clusters of similar tasks. Give these clusters a name and you’ve defined the roles you need on the team! |
Assign roles | Fill the roles with people. Keep the team lean; it’s OK to assign multiple roles to a single person |
Determine decision rights | What are the thresholds where each role has complete autonomy to make decisions? Give roles clear limits and powers in order to enable speed |
Define work to be done | Capture all the work that the team needs to do (not just what it’s doing today) in a spreadsheet or on post-its |
