O que é Span of Control Optimization
Span of Control Optimization is the practice of designing organizational structures, determining how many people each manager should supervise, how many management layers exist, and how teams should be grouped. The goal is to optimize for both manager capacity (avoiding burnout and overwhelm) and organizational agility (avoiding bureaucratic layers that slow decisions). A well-optimized org structure enables fast decision-making, clear accountability, professional development, and sustainable manager workload. A poorly-designed structure creates bottlenecks, confusion, and churn.
