> I think there’s real value in having a [DRI](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/people-group/directly-responsible-individuals/)–someone who is concretely and specifically responsible for taking care of outcomes.

Exploring the [GitLab DRI doc](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/people-group/directly-responsible-individuals/) and came across [this awesome video](https://youtu.be/jdN5mj5ieLk?t=2160) about GitLab’s culture and workflow. In it they describe how important it is for remote teams to document and organize everything. This way people have access to information, can reference information, and everyone’s on the same page. It takes more time initially, but the benefits to the entire organization compound over time. Reminded me of our [Cred historians and curators](https://discourse.sourcecred.io/t/cred-historians-and-curators/194/) blazing [trails](https://discourse.sourcecred.io/t/trails-the-memex-and-sourcecred/213) through the forum. Also similar to the [deep, then wide](https://discourse.sourcecred.io/t/deep-then-wide/102) idea as you have to go slow, then fast 🙂
