I suspect that a manager that suggested / insisted on such properly staffed teams, would get fired or no longer promoted, at most big companies. Since it'd cost a lot, and not show any results the nearest time / years. And also, they might hire the wrong people, and just burn money for nothing > Simple, if brutal solution ... properly staffed teams The recruitment part is not simple, maybe bordering to impossible? for some larger companies. I say, based on my past experiences in how clueless big companies can be concerning what technical people they hire.

> and not show any results the nearest time / years. Depends on how you game OKRs. Implement auditing Q1. Contact all teams Q2. Have 75% of teams Q3. 90% of teams Q4. Just an example but its all in how you sell it. Big IT understands icebergs, you just have to give a good/accurate roadmap and execute if they agree on it. You might be correct that a lack of insight on this sort of thing is an organizational problem. My experience indicates that if you can't get a list of dependencies based on a series of e-mails down an org chart, something is wrong. Either someone is managing too many services for the level of tooling you have, or there's a complete breakdown in org comms (which happens more in larger enterprises.)

  Sounds interesting, but what does "Have 75% of teams Q3" mean?
