It's the roman dictator model applied within a business. I think the outcome is 100% dependent on the quality of dictator, much like anywhere else it is used.

Personally, I think autonomous teams may be slower but tend to make better decisions/create better results over the long term when compared to a sampling of DRIs.
- blululu 4y agoNot really. There are many DRI s at a variety of levels. Authority is distributed and non hierarchical. As the DRI you are responsible for one thing but it comes with no real authority beyond that. The main point of a DRI is that authority is clearly defined. The key advantage of this model is there is broad clarity on who that person is at any time.
- emptysea 4y agoYeah it ends up being a point of contact more than anything It’s still the PMs, Eng managers, and higher ups making most of the decisions* *At least at my current company
