In this episode, we discuss how teams are often unaware of what is going on around them. Their desire to perform and focus on their work, can lead them to ignore the dependencies around them. Dahm shares one such story, and we discuss what we can do as Scrum Masters to help teams be aware, and react to what other teams need around them.
