P.A.R.A. VIII: Core Principles

Over the past year, I’ve seen P.A.R.A. implementations of all shapes and sizes. I’ve seen them from every corner of the globe, in languages I don’t even recognize, in at least a dozen different programs, and both digital and physical forms.

Over that time, seven core principles seem to have emerged as fundamental features. Whether you’ve taken on the particularities of the system I’ve described in this series, adopting these principles will seriously upgrade your digital organization.

Here they are, in no particular order:

Organize by actionability
Organize opportunistically
Move quickly, touch lightly
Controlled randomness
Complex systems have to be grown, not made,
Focus on outcomes
Fail gracefully
Shallow hierarchies
