What alignment actually looks like
Real teams that rebuilt their decision-making infrastructure to scale faster with less friction.
Featured example
Velocity SaaS – 180 employees, Series B
The challenge: Product and Engineering roadmaps were misaligned; decisions that should have taken a week took three or more.
What we did
- 8-week Alignment Accelerator with the six-person leadership team
- Installed a decision framework and explicit decision rights matrix
- Weekly working sessions plus individual coaching
Results in 8 weeks
- Decision time dropped from 21 days to 5 days
- Engineering rework fell from 28% to 9%
- CEO recovered 12 hours/week; leaders averaged 5 hours/week
- 80% of cross-functional conflicts resolved without exec escalation
“We went from endless alignment meetings to teams that resolve 80% of conflicts without exec involvement.”
– VP Engineering, Velocity SaaS
