In product work, one common anti-pattern is when leadership converges on multiple equally weighted priority 'pillars' that are difficult to prioritize against each other.
Different teams latch on to different priorities, resulting in a dilemma for teams serving dependencies.
The options for these teams include ruinous pragmatism, going rogue, creating a cage match scenario, or advocating for partnership and global priorities.
Currently, the recommended approach is to defend capacity through a cage match, ensuring work can move across the Kanban board and delivering value.
