A Cross-Functional team reduces dependencies in Scrum by including all the necessary skills within the team to complete the work. This internalisation of skills minimises the need to rely on external departments or specialists, which can often lead to delays and miscommunication.
By having a self-sufficient team, Scrum teams can work more efficiently and respond more quickly to changes or issues. This reduction in dependencies helps streamline the Workflow and improve the overall speed and quality of the product development process.
