 +====== Premise ======
  
 When portfolio and program managers undertake quarterly (or annual) feature and portfolio planning, understanding team dependencies is made necessary to identify constraints and avoid overburdening one team. Complexity quickly grows beyond intuition after two or three team dependencies are identified, rendering current forecasting techniques unsatisfactory. This session will discuss the inadequacies of current tools and frameworks used to manage the dependency planning problem, and introduce the choices you have for reducing the complexity and new planning techniques that untangle dependencies into a doable plan. When portfolio and program managers undertake quarterly (or annual) feature and portfolio planning, understanding team dependencies is made necessary to identify constraints and avoid overburdening one team.

 +  * I think this is important as it shows how choices for execution is increasingly limited as you have more dependencies.
 +  * Need to write related article to "just don't do it" that I have written about before - see [[http://www.hanssamios.com/wordpress/2015/02/12/dealing-with-or-perhaps-avoiding-dependencies/|Blog post on dependencies]]
