I find it highly similar between running agents and running human teams.

Clear goal, share context, delegate but verify. Running a team of engineers also inevitably generates pages and pages of material, design spec, code, test, review. Just that we now do that with agents and agents are way less trust worthy

What's good for agents is good for humans. That's about it.

The only difference is that agents don't deal well with ambiguity in processes. If your build process is 15 steps, a human will just endure because "that's how it's always been" - an agent will keep stumbling until you either optimise the process or document it.

And now it's better for humans too, they either got a simplified process or better documentation.
