SLAs and Goals
07/11/2016
Hello everyone, I have some questions about SLAs and Goals: 1) SLA (Service Level Agreement) - Is it possible to add a SLA on a role? E.g. a role has to reply e-mails within 24 hours from the receipt. It´s not that we want to put SLA on every role, but we have some SLAs with our clients, and we h...
Committees
08/19/2016
Hello folks, I am having some questions about committees in Holacracy. For example, let´s say that in a hierarchical company there is a committee of three people, responsible to deliberate for the company´s strategic planning. This committee has the Strategic Planning domain, and in a regular mee...
Domain in the Circle and also in a Role
08/24/2016
Hello, I was taking a look at HolacracyOne´s Glassfrog, and I noticed that the Circle "Outreach" has the following domain: "Holacracy and HolacracyOne visual branding" . Then, I was checking the Role "Brand Visual Design", and I also noticed that this Role has the same domain: "Holacracy and Hola...
Domain controlled by the Circle or the Lead Link?
09/01/2016
Hello Community, The clause 2.1.2 in the Constitution says that " when filling a Role in a Circle, you may use and impact any Domain controlled by the Circle itself, or that the Circle is authorized to impact. " But, the Appendix A says that the Lead Link " also holds all un-delegated Circle-leve...

Too many roles or too few for one person to manage

Florent posted:This is very interesting, but how do you solve/reject the "i don't have the time to do this" objection ?Let's take the example of a governance meeting where extending an accountability on a Required Role is necessary to solve a tension; while everyone around the table agrees that t...

Jean-Michel Gode, thank you for your reply.In that way, I assume I can put a metric like "=Sales/Breakeven" , so every time this metric is asked, the role has to give a percentage of sales compared to the breakeven point. Right?Best regards.

Too many roles or too few for one person to manage
07/14/2016
Hello Florent,I see your point, and I do understand that in every company there´s a lot of unwanted work that has to be done. But the fact is that Holacracy won´t eliminate this unwanted work, it is just an operating system that helps you to deal with it.By default, the Lead Link role has the aut...
Triage - what is the goal really?
08/05/2016
Andrea Demaria posted: My understanding of the term triage in Holacracy is that no solutions are created in the tactical meeting but only decisions are made on what are the next steps (next action, project, wait for trigger, think about a tension) to be followed. Hello Andrea, you are correct. Si...
Mistake on Governance Card?
08/19/2016
 My first thought was that you were wrong, but looking at the card, I think you are correct."Is it enough safe to try?" if you say No (it´s not safe to try), then it would be a valid objection, but the card says otherwise.I agree with you. Let´s wait for other comments.
"Too expensive" - is it a valid objection?
08/24/2016
Hello Mikolaj,As said, this is a resource allocation decision. Not governamental. To clarify a little more, e.g. in our company we have "Expense Centers", and we treat every Expense Center as a Domain. So, some Roles in our company has some specific Expense Center´s domains. Also, every Expense C...

So, if the Lead Link assigned someone, the Partner has the duty to process the Role, whether the Partner liked the Role or not. It´s his job. The Lead Link has the freedom ...
