CORE DEFINITION

Multiple parties calibrate time, progress, and understanding to ensure synchronization and consistency.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Eliminate information lag. When everyone works independently, it's easy to go astray; regular synchronization keeps the team aligned.

anchor

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.

MINIMUM ACTION
