• Shared state

  Put the facts two people both need in one live place they can each see and update, instead of letting them live in someone's memory, inbox, or private notes.

  Use this move →
• Schema

  Write down the exact fields that go in and the exact fields that must come back, so neither side has to guess what a good update looks like.

  Use this move →
• Owner

  Put exactly one person's name on each outcome that matters, and label everyone else as either helping or reviewing, so nobody mistakes being included for being in charge.

  Use this move →
• Reduce handoff

  Before you carefully design a transfer of work between people, check whether that transfer needs to exist at all, because the cheapest handoff is the one you delete.

  Use this move →
• Trace

  Attach a short record to anything that matters, saying where it came from, which version it is, why you decided that, and what changed since.
