Description

  • Inter-team collaboration can work by exposing code, documentation, roadmaps,
    backlogs, and sprint plans. The data is made openly available to drive the
    discussions between the teams.
  • Keep your agile-project management tools open and findable.
  • Contributing developers would need to fit in with the owning team's sprints
    when a dev is submitting one-off merge requests, etc.
  • When teams work together over many sprints to deliver larger services works a
    bit differently.
  • Note: It helps to NOT colocate teams (so async written communication can create lazy documentation)
  • CI/CD can make it easier to validate contributions.
  • Question: how do you protect the CI/CD pipelines of products that are using the IS component?
  • Question: Should there be a simple process for contributing automated tests to a shared set (to prevent breakage downstream)?
  • Question: What happens when something downstream detects a problem? Who debugs these issues?
  • Question: Do contributors join development sprints of the owning organization?
