The road to end-to-end teams
Anyone trying to coordinate the team backlogs of multiple teams collaborating on a large product has learned that managing dependencies is as futile as running around the well with a bucket. Backlogs are queues, queues are delays. Everyone waits for everyone, everything takes time, no one is to blame for anything.
Yet all you have to do is (let) people reorganize into end-to-end teams. Karel Smutný, who has specialized in the transition to end-to-end teams for the last 8 years from his 15 years of experience, will tell you how to do it and what pitfalls await you.
