Principlev1

Conduct attention retrospectives to review how the team

Conduct attention retrospectives to review how the team actually spent attention versus intentions, creating a feedback loop for calibrating and improving attention management over time.

Why This Is a Principle

This principle derives from double-loop learning requiring questioning the framework itself (Double-loop learning requires questioning the framework), single-loop learning adjusting within assumptions (Single-loop learning adjusts actions within existing), and raw experience without reflection not producing learning (Raw experience, without reflection, does not produce). It prescribes retrospective practice based on the foundational constraint that learning requires examining the system that produces outcomes.

Team attention management

What the team collectively pays attention to determines what it accomplishes. Team attention is a finite resource that can be designed, directed, and protected — or squandered on whatever is loudest, most urgent, or most emotionally salient.
