This breaks down often

Different release schedules

Different time zones

Changing priorities

Commitment wanes over time as pressure builds

Coordinating Multi-Team Work

Track the release schedules of projects

Product Managers recommend or pick off blueprints, epics they want to push forward and add it to their own roadmaps. DevOps pick up the roadmap work.

Product Manager drive the timing of the work

Loosely track project work available for next cycle

Cross Product, Project Work
