EPIC JOURNEY
Your Path to a Successful Epic Transition
GUIDING PRINCIPLES
Our epic journey toward implementing the Epic Foundation System will be guided by
three core principles.
First, we will prioritize simplicity and avoid over-engineering solutions.
We will focus on implementing the core system effectively rather than creating unnecessary
complexity.
Second, we will embrace timely decision-making, even when faced with difficult choices.
We will avoid revisiting decisions without critical new information, fostering a culture
of continuous advancement and forward momentum.
Finally, all approvals and decisions will be channeled through our established shared governance process, ensuring transparency and collaborative ownership throughout the project.

Communication
We will foster an environment of trust and respect by prioritizing transparent and frequent communication. This means not only sharing what is happening, but also consistently explaining the why behind decisions, actions, and changes. By providing context and rationale, we empower everyone to understand the bigger picture and contribute meaningfully to our shared goals.
