How do you manage dependencies in large-scale Scrum implementations?

Short answer: Best practices: Identify and visualize dependencies during PI Planning or Sprint Planning.

Explain a bit more

Use Dependency Boards or digital tools (e.g., Jira Advanced Roadmaps). Cross-team backlog refinement to surface risks early. Encourage cross-functional teams to reduce external dependencies. Establish Integration Sprints or teams, if needed. Example: In a large retail company, multiple teams need the same API updates. A shared backlog, joint planning sessions, and dedicated integration owners reduce surprises.
