Question

Why do lean-agile leaders try to connect the silos of business, system engineering, hardware, software, test, and quality assurance?

Answer 1

The Silo Mentality in a business is something that lean-agile leaders are trying to break down. The silos in a business prevent the free-flowing exchange of information within groups. This results in a Silo Effect, which in turn, limits interactions between members, teams, and departments. Having this mindset in place within a company reduces productivity.

As Lean-Agile Leaders, they are enablers for the different teams within a company and they're lifelong learners aiming to further develop the people in an organization alongside the organization itself. By connecting the silos business, system engineering, hardware, software, test, and quality assurance they can increase productivity & increase their rate of success.
