Two of my teammates were stuck in a turf war and this gave me a full PIN-based mediation script

# Mediation Plan — Priya (Designer) vs Marcus (Frontend Engineer), Apollo Squad Conflict: disagreement over who owns final UI decisions; ongoing ~6 weeks, slowing releases and souring standups. ## Pre-mediation: PIN analysis | Party | Position | Interest | Need | |-------|----------|----------|------| | Priya | "Design has final say on UI" | Craft quality, brand consistency | To be respected as the expert | | Marcus | "Engineering decides what's feasible" | Shippable, performant code | Not to be handed impossible specs | **Root cause:** no agreed decision-rights boundary, not personal animosity. ## Session structure (60 min) 1. **Set the stage (10):** ground rules — one speaker at a time, assume good intent, confidential. 2. **Surface interests (30):** each shares perspective uninterrupted; mediator reframes positions into interests. 3. **Build agreement (20):** co-create a working agreement + action plan. ## Opening script "We're here to solve a shared problem, not to decide who's right. Everything said stays in this room. I'll ask each of you to speak without interruption." ## Reframing examples - "He ignores my designs" → "You need design intent preserved through to implementation." - "She doesn't get the tech" → "You need feasibility flagged before specs are locked." ## Win-win prompts A weekly 30-min design-eng sync? A shared "UI decision record"? A feasibility check before sign-off? **Commitment template:** agreement | owner | review date. Follow-up at 2 and 4 weeks. **Escalate to HR if:** disrespect persists or either party disengages.

Clear, structured, no fluff. Exactly what planning should feel like.

The morning routine block is short enough that I actually keep it.
