I’m a huge fan of Systems Thinking. One critical piece of Systems Thinking is the Feedback Loop. Systems often involve feedback loops, where the output of a process becomes input for the same or another process. Positive feedback amplifies changes, while negative feedback tends to stabilize and regulate a system. Understanding these loops is crucial in predicting and managing system behavior.

An operating rhythm is critical to setting properly setting up a feedback loop. Some may mistake an operating rhythm for just another meeting. If so, that would be a missed opportunity. Take for example the Pipeline Review.
