Work Cultures & Technology Stack extensibility and their impacts on attaining Goals!

Single Door – You can walk through, see the other side and even when you find it’s not appealing as you planned there is no possibility to walk back the door and return to last known good state

Double Door – You can walk through, see the other side if it’s not appealing as you planned for there is every possibility to walk back the door and return to last known good state

Revolving Door – You can walk through, see the other side if it’s not appealing as you planned for, there is enough instrumentation to provide real time feedback on why the plan went sideways resulting in one of the following outcome

1.       Team consumes the feedback course corrects and walks in through the door. Keep repeating the process till the goal is attained

2.       Walk back the door and return to last known good state – When the results are disastrous compared to plan

I personally prefer the Revolving Door, but wont mind Double Door. Buck stops ( or should I say SHOULD stop there) there.
