Knight Shift

A continuous model of product development changes how I'd organise people: stable teams with end-to-end responsibility, small working groups, broader skills and shared R&D leadership.

I think product development can run continuously around outcomes, with agents trying changes, gathering evidence and earning authority within limits people set. Customers still need a coherent product and changes they can safely adopt.

Agent systems can behave in ways nobody explicitly chose. Making their decisions visible helps, but we also need to observe how the parts interact. Biology offers some useful patterns for keeping those systems reliable.
