  • Summary

  • We discuss two related topics: fan out work and managing bottleneck teams. We first delve into fan out work, its causes, examples, and some of the problems it causes. We discuss a couple of approaches to reduce the impact of fan out work, such as having teams complete their own fan out work, and setting limits on such projects.


    We then discuss bottleneck teams. Every organization has teams that suffer as they support the most critical aspects of the business. We discuss common issues like stakeholder bullying. And we offer some solutions such as adopting self-service models, adding rotation roles, and redefining the responsibilities of the team.


    The format for this episode is an experiment -- I'm not interviewing anyone else!
