Clarity Hierarchies Foster Collaboration by Helping Organizations Align Silos and Orchestrate Diverse Teams

Using Clarity Hierarchies, organizations can create value streams that form the catalyst for improved collaboration. Clarity Hierarchies provide visibility into all the people and technology that make up each value stream. This enables the funding of the teams doing the work rather than a standalone piece of work, which reduces friction, harmonizes teams around the common goal of improving value flow, and encourages continuous improvement of the value stream.

Clarity Tasks Foster Collaboration by Providing Teams Using Different Methodologies an Effective Way to Work Together

Individuals and Teams can use Clarity Tasks to track their work or any other type of execution-based metric, while still providing leaders with visibility into value-based metrics at the value stream level. That same insight is available to other work teams and collaborators, serving to provide a common language for all stakeholders and to help break down silos. Clarity tasks help teams leverage intuitive views of all work needed to deliver value, the status of that work, dependencies between tasks, etc. Teams can also view work in terms of tasks—including for individuals, teams, work items, and so on. Alternatively, they can visualize their work on a timeline, which enables them to see how different elements come together, understand dependencies, and view the evolution of the value stream.
