Lessons learned from teams who have successfully scaled their workflows
Focus on the problem and proposed solution. Avoid over-engineering in the proposal phase.
Define review periods and stick to them. Avoid analysis paralysis by setting decision deadlines.
Record not just what was decided, but why. This helps future contributors understand the rationale.
Include stakeholders who will be affected by the decision, but keep the group manageable.
