Structure org context and keep functional areas aligned with what shipped.
Why departments exist
Departments give each function a home for context: what shipped, what was decided, and which goals they support. Use them when cross-functional work otherwise gets lost in generic lists.
Set-up flow
- Create departments that match how you actually run standups or leadership reviews—not every legal entity needs a node.
- Attach relevant decisions and goals so the department page becomes a readable narrative.
- Visit a department before exec prep to scan recent decisions and AI highlights for that slice of the org.
