Right-sizing governance
On This Lesson 4 topics
This lesson is planned. The outline below lists the topics it will cover. The full lesson has not been published yet.
In this lesson
match review weight to reversibility and blast radius.
Planned topics
- Two questions: how hard is it to undo, and how many teams or customers does it affect?
- Low reversibility plus wide blast radius gets a full RFC and review; easy to undo and local gets a brief note or none.
- Define tiers with examples so teams self-classify.
- Revisit tiers if incidents show a decision was under-reviewed or reviews are mostly rubber stamps.
Draft outline details
Demonstration
A 2x2 grid: reversibility (easy/hard) by blast radius (one team/many). Cells: no review, peer note, design review, full RFC. Example: choosing a library is easy to reverse; a public event contract is hard to reverse.
