MyWork Command and Control
Think of synchronizing gears or cogs that rotate. They interlock. Now think of that in the context of people working together. When I do something, I expect you to do something. And when you do something, you expect me to do something. There is a zone of agreeable working practices between individuals if both define what they expect from each other, like a computer interface. Imagine you can mutually bidirectionally command your colleagues with a workflow system. | |
Rather than write long boring emails, I write a bulleted point list of steps and I identify who should do what.
Everyone has an interface of services of what they can do or work on. Others can deploy those services.
And they are synchronized like gears.
Then the system has notifications on my
phone or an email-style interface where I can see tasks assigned to me.
When I do something you depend on, you are notified, and you are also given steps automatically that come from me.
Communication doesn't really scale, but expectations and work allocation does.
I can mutually command my boss, my colleagues.

If you're thinking of Jira, that's not how I think this should work. |
|
| |
It should have a list interface and be based on gears. |

So, peer-to-peer micromanagement? I'm not sure that sits within the "zone of agreeable working practices". |
