approach
Engineering Organization
How I look at ownership, team boundaries, escalation paths, delivery flow, and hidden coordination cost.
Engineering organizations become hard to operate when the formal structure and the real flow of work diverge.
I usually start by looking at where decisions are made, who owns outcomes, where work waits, and which problems require informal heroics to keep moving.
The goal is not to install a process. The goal is to make the organization understandable enough that people can make decisions without constant escalation.
