In Scrum, dependencies and delays are minimised by having all necessary skills within the team, which reduces the need for formal handoffs between specialist teams. When issues arise that require multiple skills, the team can address them quickly because all relevant expertise is available within the team. This setup fosters faster problem-solving and reduces delays caused by waiting for external teams to contribute.
Furthermore, the smaller Scope of work within each Sprint means that any delays are contained within a short timeframe, making it easier to manage and resolve them. Continuous collaboration among team members ensures that problems are identified and addressed promptly, preventing them from escalating and causing significant delays in the overall Project timeline.
