Cross-team Roadmap Sync

Designed the planning ritual that aligned engineering, design, and ops roadmaps.

OperationsSystems Thinking

Problem

Engineering, design, and ops planned independently, with conflicts surfacing mid-quarter.

What I built

A lightweight recurring sync ritual with shared inputs and a single aligned output.

My contribution

Designed the ritual format and facilitated the first two quarters directly.

Process

  1. Diagnosed misalignment

    Traced recurring mid-quarter conflicts to a missing shared planning input.

  2. Designed the ritual

    Built a lightweight recurring sync with a single shared output.

Outcome

Cross-team roadmap conflicts, previously discovered mid-quarter, now surface before planning starts.
