Scaling up to synergy, one “Ops” at a Time
summary
A remote design tribe scales processes after a 177% headcount jump by adding weekly Monday standups and Friday greetings, running biweekly randomized one‑to‑ones, and mapping skills with self plus peer ratings to build chapters with leaders and a cross‑chapter coach. They standardize artifacts with a Figma UI kit and Miro templates, store project docs in Confluence, and enforce chat and meeting rules. Retrospective scores rise, collaboration speeds up, and deliverables reach higher quality in less time.
