Gitlab’s Directly Responsible Individuals#
Article: https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/people-group/directly-responsible-individuals/
Notes#
DRI is accountable for the success or failure of that project.
Everyone can give input.
DRI makes a decision.
DRI does not have to explain why they’re making a decision, and they absolutely do not have to convince other people.
DRI consults with all teams that have action items to ensure they have context and that actions are assigned.
Conclusion#
Gitlab process reminded me of Architecture Advice Process, but they never refer to it. They might have something like ADR, but it’s not called that way. Overall, I think, it’s a sensible adaption for an async work style.
