Pros and Cons: Deep Alignment for Your Team

A great way to make a decision your whole team can get behind: a Pros and Cons list.

Identify the folks that have a stake in, or a valuable add to, the topic at hand. (Could be: What feature do we build? Which ICP should we go after? Do we need a product owner right now?)

Get into a call. Book yourself and your team a solid two hours. Share a document in your video conf software or your projector. And just GO TO TOWN! Bullet list everything you and the team came up with - pros and cons. The decision will usually reveal itself, and everyone will have had a chance to weigh in. You'll be satisfied that you got the right data from the right brains. They'll be satisfied they got to weigh in, and see the reason for the decision in realtime. Share out the link after.

You'll have:

  1. CLARITY
  2. SPEED of execution
  3. RECORD of your decisions that you can refer to later
  4. HAPPINESS of your team

This is deep alignment. This is refinement. This is speed of execution.
