Minimise Handoffs & Dependencies Between Teams

This standard mandates minimising handoffs and dependencies between teams to enable faster, more autonomous delivery by reducing cross-team dependencies.

1. Minimise Handoffs & Dependencies Between Teams:

Enable faster, more autonomous delivery by reducing cross-team dependencies. This approach ensures that teams can operate independently and efficiently.

• 1.1 Loosely Coupled Architectures:
  • 1.1.1 Integration Friction Reduction:
    • Design loosely coupled architectures and APIs to reduce integration friction.
    • Automate the generation of API documentation.
  • 1.1.2 Architecture Management:
    • Automate the tracking of architecture integrations.
    • Implement architecture tutorials.
• 1.2 Clear Ownership and Accountability:
  • 1.2.1 Service and Component Responsibility:
    • Establish clear ownership and accountability for services and components.
    • Automate the assignment of ownership.
  • 1.2.2 Ownership Management:
    • Automate the tracking of accountability implementations.
    • Implement ownership feedback collection.
• 1.3 Cross-Functional Teams:
  • 1.3.1 End-to-End Delivery:
    • Use cross-functional teams to own end-to-end delivery and avoid coordination bottlenecks.
    • Automate the formation of cross-functional teams.
  • 1.3.2 Team Management:
    • Automate the tracking of cross-functional team deliveries.
    • Implement team tutorials.

By minimising handoffs, organisations can improve team autonomy and delivery speed.
