Long synopsis (optional):	“Let’s try an unconventional way to address a common challenge.” That is what Lieke Jansen and Nienke Alma, Agile Coaches at ING, concluded when they were brainstorming on how to increase awareness of effective dependency management. A few weeks later music plays loudly in a fully decorated room. People take a last sip from their glass while providing feedback: “it’s fun to talk about such an important topic in a different setting!” The unconventional way toured from department to department and seemed to be more successful than creating documents, sending emails or giving presentations. Now it’s time to expand the tour to Agile on the Beach. Ideally, an Agile organization is built up by feature teams: long-lived, cross-functional and cross-component teams that complete many end-to-end customer features. In reality many large organizations struggle to put this in place. ING is no exception. In order to improve a customer journey there is a lot to take into account: complex IT landscapes, risk & compliance and customer collaboration are just a few examples of aspects that cannot be ignored, but also cannot easily be covered by a single team. Despite all efforts to adjust the organizational structure as much as possible for agility, at ING still multiple teams are dependent on each other to deliver true value to the customer. And especially these dependencies seem to slow down the delivery speed. How to manage dependencies for large Agile organizations – The Summer Party Edition is not a regular party. It aims to bring all the fun of a good summer party and the impact of an interactive workshop.
