You are leading multiple engineering teams that need to work together, but each team has developed its own ways of planning, building, and operating software. Some leaders want tighter standards to improve predictability and reduce operational risk, while others want teams to keep flexibility so they can move faster and adapt to their domain.
How do you decide what to standardize across teams versus what to leave flexible?
