Enterprise Architecture and Holistic Diversity
So, how does your enterprise define the word team...
Are you currently outsourcing? Do you define team as a bunch of individuals whom have never even met or even heard each others voices? Are you implementing best practices by embracing CMMi and other process-oriented approaches while not focusing on the human aspects of technology?
Are the hallways filled with complaints of a bureaucratic process? Are inter-team communication breaking down? Are teams are structured by specialty or phase deliverables? Do folks pass work to each other by written, required deliverables instead of visiting each other? Does lack of respect of one team for another occur as a subtle undertone? Is there over-generalization where each person is assigned to do everything, resulting in waste from changing mental gears?
