Build Teams as an Engineer
summary
Starts by listing concrete steps: gather information, define a measurable focus, draft org boundaries, design a communication API and iterate. Identifies and eliminates ghost responsibilities, creates a lead role per area, writes explicit responsibilities and a nonresponsibilities list, changes sprint agendas and enforces meeting notes. Rolls changes out, holds others to the contract, trains habits until the process runs without central heroic action, and reports that the team becomes self‑sustaining.
