Synchronization
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
CORE DEFINITION
Multiple parties calibrate time, progress, and understanding to ensure synchronization and consistency.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
Eliminate information lag. When everyone works independently, it's easy to go astray; regular synchronization keeps the team aligned.
Anchor fast decisions
In distributed collaboration, each party accumulates deviation based on their own clock; regular synchronization resets the deviation to zero. Aligning time/progress/understanding costs much less than correcting after the fact.
