Engineering
Communication is heavily routed through 1 of 6 members. 73% of cross-functional messages flow through a single node.
Recommendation: Introduce a rotating 'liaison' role for cross-team coordination. Start with sprint planning — have a different team member represent Engineering each sprint.
concern
isolated_network
Data Science
Cross-team communication ratio has dropped to 8% from 19% over the past 6 weeks. Topic overlap with Engineering has declined significantly.
Recommendation: Schedule bi-weekly 'show and tell' sessions where Data Science presents work-in-progress to Engineering. Pair a data scientist with an engineer on the next cross-functional project.
watch
disenfranchised_nodes
Engineering
2 members have contributed less than 5% of total team communication over the past 4 weeks, down from 12% previously.
Recommendation: Create structured opportunities for input — round-robin in standups, async RFC documents where everyone comments before decisions are made.
watch
priority_overload
Product
Team is responding to requests from 4 other teams while maintaining internal deliverables. Meeting load is 14.2 hours/person/week.
Recommendation: Establish 'office hours' — designated times when other teams can bring requests. This consolidates interruptions and protects focused work time.
