Episode Description

Most agile practices have become widely adopted—but cross-functional team structures remain the exception. Despite clear benefits like faster learning, shorter time to market, and simpler coordination, many teams still depend on others to get work done.

In this episode, Peter Green and Richard Lawrence share three practical strategies to reduce the pain of cross-team dependencies and make work flow better right where you are. You’ll learn how to spot where complexity really lives, use the CAPED model to collaborate across teams, define clear interfaces, and make the flow of value visible to build a case for change.
