Delivery tensions
Six places parallel work collides.
And the approaches to each.
Each tension is a question a team has to answer once more than one agent is writing code. Open one for its approaches, the tools that take them and what practitioners say.
- 01 / Plan
Scheduling the work
What should run at once, what depends on what, and what needs a longer time horizon?
3 approaches → - 02 / Isolate
Sharing the world
Separate code is easy. What about shared databases, ports, services, and environments?
3 approaches → - 03 / Coordinate
Coordinating intent
How do agents manage overlapping ownership, interfaces, and mutable state?
3 approaches → - 04 / Integrate
The integration queue
What happens when changes are produced faster than the system can merge them?
3 approaches → - 05 / Verify
Proving it's safe
Who verifies combined outcomes, evaluates risks, and decides what can ship?
3 approaches → - 06 / Remember
Remembering why
How do decisions, evidence, and intent survive agents, branches, and time?
