A Risk-Managed Approach to Dependency Management

Date: 23/12/2019

Managing dependencies effectively is often the key to unlocking enterprise scale agility. However, existing approaches are struggling to provide a pragmatic solution, often resorting to “big planning up-front”, large, expensive meetings, the use of copious balls of string, only to find later that many dependencies remained hidden and emerged later only to disrupt plans and delay deliverables.

Kanban has an elegant solution to managing dependencies in large-scale businesses, independent of the Agile method you are using, and it is a solution tried and tested in many environments where uncertainty and risk are prevalent. This talk will shortly introduce how to manage dependencies better using probabilistic approaches to risk, and reduce or possibly eliminate your existing, time-consuming and unreliable, deterministic approaches.
