The flow stays within one delivery system (FL1), allowing the team to independently identify, prioritize, and complete work without cross-level coordination.

Description

notion image
The entire flow stays within one delivery system (FL1). The team identifies, prioritizes, and completes the work independently without coordination across other levels.

Typical Context

Maintenance tasks, small technical improvements, bug fixes, or local optimization experiments.

Implications

Extremely fast and efficient for localized work. However, if this becomes the dominant pattern, it can lead to siloed learning and misalignment with larger goals. Encourage teams to occasionally connect their local improvements to system-wide outcomes.
