Empowered, Cross-Functional Teams
Category: Agile Principles
Principle Intent
Design teams with the skills, authority, and context required to deliver end-to-end value. Empowered, cross-functional teams reduce dependencies, speed decisions, and improve ownership.
How to Apply This Principle
This principle is part of the Entrowise Principles Library and is used in the PPA Method to diagnose recurring delivery problems and develop principle-aligned actions. When this principle is violated, delivery teams often experience recurring symptoms that resist solution because the root cause—the violated principle—is never addressed directly.
