Managing Dependencies in Agile Teams — Why Discipline Is the Real Enabler of Agility
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most Agile models assume teams can work fully independently.
But in real R&D organisations — especially those with shared platforms, legacy systems, or compliance constraints — inter-team dependencies are everywhere.
Ignoring them doesn’t make you more “agile.”
It just makes the blockers invisible.
In this podcast, I explain how light-weight discipline (not heavy frameworks) can dramatically improve flow, quality, and predictability — even without going full SAFe.
You’ll find:
- The real challenges hidden inside dependencies
- Practical, discipline-based techniques that work in any organisation
- Common pitfalls most teams fall into
- A more pragmatic, engineering-driven view of agility
