Visualize
Dependency Breakers
Show all cross-team dependencies with information radiators.
Dependency Breakers: Attend • Automate • Block • Contain • Coordinate • Decouple • Flag • Formalize • Measure • Prioritize • Redesign • Reteam • Rotate • Self-service • Standardize • Swarm • Throttle • Toggle • Visualize • Volunteer
Purpose
Visualizing cross-team dependencies can be crucial for effective collaboration. For example, with a program board displaying dependencies across teams, you can significantly enhance group communication and cooperation. To harness the full potential of such information radiators, it is essential to commit to regular updates and ensure that the visualization accurately reflects the evolving state of the collaborative work.
Notes
Dependencies are not necessarily bad. Actually, there are many good reasons for people to depend on each other. But you have a problem when those dependencies result in value that is not able to flow.
Rules / Constraints
We have not yet defined any rules or constraints.
“We have broken the cycle of dependency. People have found out they're better off working.”
