A visual management tool revealed a dependency: one team's domain knowledge must be shared with another to maintain deliverables. What should the project manager do?

The project manager should ask the teams to schedule knowledge-sharing sessions. This directly addresses the identified dependency by facilitating the necessary transfer of domain knowledge, ensuring deliverables can be maintained. This is a practical and collaborative approach that empowers the teams to resolve the issue themselves, with the project manager's guidance. Removing the dependency is often not feasible, as it implies altering project scope or deliverables, which can have significant negative impacts. Reassigning team members might disrupt team dynamics and create new knowledge gaps elsewhere. Combining teams could lead to inefficiencies, communication overhead, and loss of specialized focus, which is an overreaction to a knowledge-sharing need.
