Agile PM Online Roundtable: When Individuals Cross Team Boundaries

Agile principles and practices advocate for stable, longer-lived teams of people who are given time to form/storm/norm/perform towards delivering solutions to problems that matter. Agile teams are meant to be self-contained and consist of people with complete, "T-shaped" skillsets that enable them to collectively meet their goals.

However, the reality for many agile teams is that there some required skills that are not (yet) present on the team. As a result, some individuals who possess specialized skills are required to be "part of" multiple teams.

What can we do when our teams need skills, knowledge, or access that they don't currently have? How do we coordinate the work across multiple individual and multiple teams to navigate a complex delivery ecosystem? When "the rubber meets the road" on the agile viewpoint on skills and teams, where should we adjust and where should we stand firm?

Join the Agile PM Roundtable in a Lean Coffee session exploring questions like these as part of the theme of "When individuals cross team boundaries".
