Avoid Bottlenecks
Explore strategies to prevent bottlenecks in large Agile software projects by managing technological dependencies, simplifying architecture, and facilitating efficient team communication. This lesson helps you recognize common technical and organizational bottlenecks and apply practical solutions to maintain smooth development flow.
We'll cover the following...
