What if autonomous teams are actually slowing you down?
In this talk, Krzysztof Niewiński and Maciej Sochan from G2A.com share how they moved from 17 component backlogs to one shared, results-focused product backlog—and what that changed for delivery speed and alignment.
They explain how “autonomous” component teams optimized for local work, not customer value, creating high WIP, heavy dependencies, and long lead times. By restructuring into cross-functional feature teams, running one shared cadence, and prioritizing work for the whole product, they dramatically improved flow.
Key outcomes:
⏱ Time-to-market reduced from ~7 months to ~40 days
📉 Up to 80% shorter delivery time (≈5× faster)
👥 Same people—better structure, clearer priorities
The talk also covers their next step: shifting from output (features) to outcomes (user behavior change) using continuous discovery.
