YottaDots Manifesto
Federated. AI‑native. Outcome‑driven. We align centrally, execute federatively, and learn empirically— with AI as a colleague and humans accountable for outcomes.
BELIEFS
We believe in
AI as a colleague
A visible, accountable partner in analysis, code, and decisions.
Strategic center, federated edge
Intent & funding at the center; autonomy at the edge.
Outcomes over output
Value delivered beats activity reported.
Transparency
Open data, open decisions, open learning.
Empiricism
Observe, measure, adapt; evidence over opinion.
Flexible delivery
Scrum, Kanban, PRINCE2, DevOps or ARTs: choose the fit-for-mission method.
Lightweight governance
Guardrails that enable flow, not bureaucracy.
Human accountability
AI augments; people remain responsible.
Built‑in safety & quality
Security, privacy, and quality by design.
Community & openness
Share patterns, improve together.
VALUES
We value
People & AI together
over rigid roles and hierarchy
Adaptability & autonomy
over standardized process for its own sake
Evidence & outcomes
over effort & intentions
Clarity & trust
over control & opacity
Re‑use & openness
over reinvention & silos
COMMITMENTS
Therefore we commit to
- State intent clearly at the center (strategy, funding, ethics) and dispatch work to empowered teams.
- Make work observable—flow, risk, and value visible to everyone.
- Let teams choose their method and own the lifecycle (build, run, learn).
- Put AI in the room—from portfolio forecasts to user stories, tests, and code.
- Inspect & adapt on cadence and on signal—small bets, fast feedback.
- Bake in safety—security, privacy, and quality gates in pipelines and policies.
- Share playbooks—codify what works; retire what doesn’t.
- Measure what matters—customer outcomes, time‑to‑learning, total cost of change.
- Honor human judgment—override AI when context demands; document why.
- Grow people—skills, mobility, and mastery across chapters and teams.
