In this lesson
resolve disagreements between senior engineers with structure.
Planned topics
- Find what the disagreement is about: facts, values, or priorities.
- Turn opinions into testable claims; agree an experiment or a data source.
- Separate positions from interests: what does each person fear will go wrong?
- Use decision techniques: criteria scoring, time-boxed spike, reversible-first choice, or a named decider.
- Agree "disagree and commit": once decided, everyone supports it and the dissent is recorded.
