What PMs can do to facilitate convergence

 1. Map out the system elements
 2. Define proximity to experience performance crossover
 3. Embed systems thinking into the MRD and use it to influence PRD
 4. Get the whole system in one room
 5. Set the interfaces within the system as early as possible
 6. Continually communicate up, down and across to maintain alignment
