The importance of being blocked
Despite our best attempts at creating small, cross-functional and autonomous teams, being “blocked” is unfortunately still a common occurrence with many teams. Teams often identify when work is blocked but then stop once unblocked, rarely investigating the reason(s) why the blockage happened. In this session I'll demonstrate just how important being blocked is, the insights you may be missing out on and what data/metrics you can track for blocked work in order to quantify their impact.
