This board is designed to help cross-functional teams align on the meaning of critical words before making decisions.
Its purpose is to:
surface hidden differences in interpretation
establish shared, context-specific definitions
ensure decisions are based on the same understanding
This is a decision-alignment tool.
Product Managers facilitating cross-functional discussions
Product Leaders aligning teams and stakeholders
Engineering, Design, Marketing, Sales, or Legal leads involved in shared decisions
Any team working across functions where misalignment slows down execution
Use this board before and in meetings where:
decisions depend on ambiguous terms (e.g. “MVP”, “launch”, “priority”)
multiple functions are involved (product, engineering, marketing, sales, legal, etc.)
trade-offs need to be made (speed vs quality, risk vs impact, short vs long term)
there is a history of misalignment, rework, or “we thought we agreed” moments
Typical examples:
Discovery → Delivery handovers
Roadmap / prioritisation discussions
Go-to-market planning
Experimentation or data reviews
Working model / ways of working sessions
Don’t use it in:
If alignment is already clear, this will slow you down.
