Even in the presence of extreme dependencies, much work can often be done to lean out the release management process and improve technical practices. Once we have the system of delivery built, delivering, and stabilized, the next step is to do the work necessary to get the product into the market faster.
The hypothesis is that once we’ve improved the organization’s ability to make and meet commitments, we’ll earn trust with the product organization and begin to break the portfolio investment increments into smaller batches so they flow through the system faster, release to market more frequently, and give us the opportunity for earlier feedback from our marketplace.
