Coordination Cost versus Collaborative Benefit

Cards in this group · 5

  1. V1.06.1Collaboration only pays off once coordination costs are subtracted from the gains of splitting work
  2. V1.06.2Coordination cost grows faster than output as a team gets bigger
  3. V1.06.3How finely a task can be split sets the floor on coordination cost
  4. V1.06.4Adding people to a late, tightly coupled project makes it later, not sooner
  5. V1.06.5Tooling lowers the cost of coordination but cannot remove the task's own dependencies
