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