Choose an outcome.
Observe the work.
What should change for the customer? How will you measure it? Where does work wait, and who decides?
FOR COMPANIES READY TO CHANGE HOW THEY WORK
AI speeds up work.
Speed up the company.
Code arrives faster. Decisions still wait.
W Method helps you change how the company operates so faster work leads to real outcomes.

01 / WHERE WORK GETS STUCK
More output.
The same waiting.
Adding AI to an existing process is easy. Changing the process means examining decisions, handoffs, and accountability too.
01
Context in someone's head
Without one specific person, the team cannot move forward.
02
Decisions in a queue
Routine work waits for approval one level up.
03
Done without an outcome
The output exists. Nobody checked what changed because of it.
02 / THE METHOD
Every project can
improve its own team.
Choose a specific outcome. Change a small part of how you operate. Test it on real work. What works becomes the new standard.
Choose an outcome.
Remove steps.
Design the team.
Remove unnecessary work. Decide what people and agents do, and who owns the outcome.
Describe the change.
Check readiness.
Record the proposal, boundaries, and evidence of success. Prepare people, capacity, and rules for exceptions.
Run the test.
Decide from evidence.
Test the new approach within a limited scope. Adopt it, revise it, or roll back.
03 / OPERATING PATCH
A change you
can test.
An Operating Patch is a concise proposal for changing how work operates. It has an owner, a measure of success, boundaries, and a way back.
Agile feedback applies to the organization itself: outcomes change how you work.
OPERATING PATCH / 001ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE
From inquiry to proposal
- Today
- A salesperson gathers information and waits for a technical review.
- Change
- An agent drafts a proposal from approved sources. The salesperson checks it and sends it.
- Test
- Ten routine inquiries. Measure time to send and the number of corrections required.
- Boundaries
- The CTO reviews non-standard commitments. An incorrect commitment stops the test.
ADOPT / REVISE / ROLL BACK
04 / AN ORGANIZATION OF PEOPLE AND AGENTS
A small human team.
The capacity to act.
The starting hypothesis: a CEO, CTO, and CMO building the product together. Actionable agents extend their capacity. Validate team size against outcomes and the needs of the company.
Direction and sales
Customers, commercial priorities, capital.
Technology and delivery
Solutions, agents, quality, and reliability.
Market and distribution
Demand, positioning, and adoption.
Everyone builds the product.
Every outcome has an owner.
Every outcome has an owner.
Agents receive specific goals, tools, and permissions. They provide evidence of completed work. People retain judgment, decision boundaries, and accountability.
Grow as a team of teams.
More autonomous teams connected by shared direction, knowledge, and clear dependencies. Finance and other shared functions serve these teams.

05 / YOUR FIRST W SPRINT
Start with one
real problem.
Choose work that repeats, waits for decisions, or produces outputs without a clear impact. Build your first test around it.
01
A baseline and measurable goal
02
A specific change to the work of people and agents
03
A limited operational test and a decision on next steps
Pavel Teichman · Tell us where your work gets stuck.
W is the operating system. W Method is the way of working.
The method defines how to improve the organization. W is designed to maintain shared context, decisions, outcomes, and knowledge that the next team can build on.
What is W Method?
W Method is an approach to designing and improving a company: small autonomous teams, shared context, AI agents that can act, and accountability for measurable outcomes. The whole team contributes to the product. Growth means a network of cooperating teams, not more approval layers.
Concept by: Pavel Teichman · NVGTRS
The Manifesto states the principles. The Method translates them into how a company operates. A Sprint tests a specific change in practice.
