When coordination becomes the constraint
As work expands across teams, coordination shifts from informal alignment to a system-level concern.
Progress becomes uneven—not because teams are ineffective, but because coordination has not evolved with the work.

- Dependencies discovered late
- Teams optimizing locally
- Decisions slowing across boundaries
- Planning increasing without clarity
What starts to change
- Work becomes visible across teams
- Dependencies surfaced earlier
- Coordination moves into flow
- Decisions move closer to the work
