Problem

Scenario

You are leading an engineering team that is missing commitments, revisiting decisions, and creating friction across functions. Before adding ceremonies, approvals, or tracking layers, you want to determine whether the real issue is a lack of process or just unclear goals, ownership, and priorities.

Question

How do you know when a team needs process, and when it just needs clarity?

What to Listen For

  • Repeated misses caused by unclear ownership or shifting priorities
  • Rework caused by decisions being reopened
  • Requests for more process from stakeholders under delivery pressure
  • Whether failures are one-off or recurring enough to justify a mechanism
