A department owns an area of work.
Research, engineering and operations are examples of enduring functions inside an organization. Each department needs a clear scope, an accountable owner and a way to review its output.
Choose departments that reflect your company. A small organization may begin with a few agents rather than a complex organizational chart.
A team delivers a project.
A project team can draw agents from several departments. A research agent may establish the evidence, an engineering agent may implement the work, and a review agent may assess the result.
Project context should follow the assignment. Data and tools remain subject to each agent’s permissions.
Grow by observing what is needed.
Look for repeated bottlenecks before adding specialist roles. Improve instructions, context and routing first. Evaluate a new agent against real work and retain the evidence for its approval.
