1. A role can go. Useful work remains.
A simplified reporting chart sits above three intact strips labelled Coaching, Decisions, and Context. A faint dashed box marks a removed role; the work below remains.

2. Fewer layers don't settle who decides.
A team sits within a large outlined boundary marked Agreed limits. A path leads outside that boundary to a Director node, separating local decisions from escalation.

3. Give an engineer a chance to lead.
An open notebook contrasts a filled task list under Next deadline with an empty outlined space under Design review. The contrast shows room for a supported opportunity to lead alongside delivery tasks.

4. Directors need to manage upward.
A decision memo lists Scope, Support, and Dates. A rust line leads upward from the memo to a decision point, illustrating a director taking a recommendation to their own leadership.

5. Make room in the next plan.
Two weekly planning columns both reserve a rust block for coordination and a green block for feature work. A connecting path carries the coordination block into the next week. The allocation is illustrative.
