We've seen the evidence. Netflix, Spotify, Haier, GitHub, Tesla and SpaceX—all operating without traditional project managers. We've traced the history from craft guilds to algorithms. We've examined why even Agile isn't sufficient.

Now the question: why does this matter now? Why is this moment different from every previous wave of automation hype?

Because we're at a tipping point. Multiple forces are converging that make the transition from human coordination to algorithmic coordination inevitable and imminent.

In this episode, I explore:→ The AI capability threshold: when machines cross from assistance to autonomy→ The economic pressure: why coordination overhead is no longer sustainable→ The generational shift: new workers who expect different organizational models→ The remote work catalyst: how distributed teams accelerated the need for digital-first coordination→ The network effects: why each organization that transitions makes it easier for the next→ The point of no return: when staying traditional becomes riskier than transforming

Transitions don't happen gradually. They tip. For decades, traditional project management was the safe choice. That calculus is reversing. Soon, the risky choice will be staying with human coordination while competitors automate it.

This episode closes Season One. We've built the case. The coordination tax is real. The evidence exists. The historical pattern is clear. The forces are converging.

Season Two begins the solution: the OrbaOS methodology, the new roles, the practices that make autonomous coordination viable.

The tipping point is now. The only question is which side of it you'll be on.
