Agile Team Onion

Everyone wants to be in the room. Half of them don't need to be. The team is drowning in updates for people three layers removed from the work.

The Agile Team Onion is Allan Kelly's technique for visualising stakeholder proximity. You draw concentric circles — delivery team at the centre, then immediate collaborators, wider organisational stakeholders, and external parties — each ring with its own communication cadence and decision-making involvement.
