Creating product teams without a compatible support system, consisting of easy-to-consume services (preferably via a platform-oriented approach) and readily available expertise for tasks that the team is unfamiliar with, creates more bottlenecks. Product teams end up frequently waiting on “hard dependencies” to functional teams (such as infrastructure, networking, QA). There is increased friction as product teams are pressured to deliver faster, but they are part of a system that does not support the necessary levels of autonomy.
