In today's episode, the AI hosts discuss my article, which expands on a recent piece by John Cutler about managing cross-team dependencies. It explores three common approaches to handling dependencies: minimizing them, institutionalizing them, and actively addressing them.
I build upon Culter's concepts by introducing a prioritization framework that emphasizes prioritizing work based on anticipated outcomes and available capacity. I advocate for a dynamic approach to reprioritization as circumstances change and highlight the benefits of a proactive, outcome-focused strategy. The framework presented aims to reduce team burnout and improve alignment with organizational goals by encouraging transparency and collaboration. The episode suggests that, while inevitable, dependencies can be transformed from obstacles into opportunities for growth and innovation.
