Clear, well-defined principles are vital for the success of large projects, serving as a framework that guides decision-making. Establishing these principles early helps teams remain focused on the core issues rather than drifting towards consensus through compromises. If principles are to be effective, they must undergo vigorous debate and be rooted in strategic, sometimes painful choices. Without this foundational clarity, teams may merely be documenting agreements rather than establishing genuine guiding tenets that reflect their values and commitments.
"One of the best ways to drive large projects and end to end experiences is to be clear from the beginning about the set of principles that govern the work."
"Aligning on what a team can jointly agree to isn't coming up with principles, it's writing down your compromises."
