Software engineers function better when they directly interface with the people they are serving. If an software engineer is on a team with the hydrolics people and wants to know how something works they only have to turn around. If you’re in a ‘dedicated software team’ you escalate to your Business Architect, who escalates to the business team, whom contact the hydrolics department, whom ask an overworked engineer to respond to ‘another stupid question’ from the software team. I kind of see where those things go wrong.
