Purpose

Project management in a Teal organization is decentralized and self-organized. Teams and individuals manage their own work, with transparency and autonomy replacing traditional hierarchical oversight.

Core Principles

Self-management - Teams organize their own work without external management

Transparency - Project status is visible to all members

Autonomy with accountability - Freedom to organize work, responsibility to deliver

Advice process - Seek input on major decisions, but decide yourself

Iterative learning - Regular reflection and adaptation
