Are Dependencies Meant to be Managed or Broken?

Mike and Dave sit down to have another debate with ChatGPT about dealing with dependencies in Agile. Mike asserts that dependencies kill Agility and that they’re meant to be broken. ChatGPT says that it’s all about managing dependencies and that while dependencies may limit Agility, they can also foster collaboration and synergy.

The debate quickly rolls into a conversation about dealing with legacy technical debt and business capability modeling and how we need to focus on minimizing dependencies in all aspects of the business, not just at the team level. Dave even gets Mike to start talking about his latest thinking on composable enterprises and what executives need to know about software architecture.
