[**Failure Domains and Safety**](http://cognitect.com/blog/2016/7/7/the-new-normal-failure-domains-and-safety) - When failure domains are large and overlapping, you will not sustain team-scale autonomy. When the system does not provide safety, you will not sustain team-scale autonomy. Put the two factors together and you get an exponential increase in the cost of an incident. Therefore, if team-scale autonomy is desirable, you must work to make the failure domains as small and independent as possible. This is not a one-time transformation effort. It requires ongoing work.
