Leaders staff the county elections systems ART with a random mix of teams that do not share a value stream or mission. What create-ART correction should the RTE recommend?

ART design requires a coherent value stream or shared mission so teams can plan, demo, and release together. When leaders staff the county elections systems ART with a random mix of teams that do not share a value stream or mission, the RTE should recommend redesigning the ART around a coherent value stream and shared mission rather than a random team mix. Extra meetings will not glue a grab-bag of teams into an elections mission such as ballots, voter systems, or results. Keeping the random mix and relying on extra Scrum of Scrums to invent a mission later treats coordination theater as design. Splitting every team into single-function component groups so specialization is clearer often increases handoffs and moves further from a value-stream ART. Delaying all role identification until after three PIs of the random design postpones other create-ART steps while leaving the core topology wrong. Exam caveat: redesign may be incremental, but the target remains a coherent mission and value stream—not permanent collage with more syncs. Operational check: facilitate a short redesign session that restates the elections operational value stream, groups teams that share that mission, and adjusts ART membership and board scope before the next PI Planning.
