Abstract
This experience report summarises the decision-making process used at Aptivate, focusing on the decision to create ‘standing teams’ with delegated authority to plan the distribution of their own work across multiple projects. The paper presents the company approach to consensus decision-making, and how this has supported company culture and values as well as enabled this change with full participation. This experience report covers the time period from September 2014 to March 2015.
