  1. Open Conversations

    When teams are waiting on each other, the first blocker is easy to miss. Open Conversations to connect the reviews for the regional rollout.

  2. Bring both reviews together

    Bring the Service and Product reviews together. Each team describes a different handoff. Ask about this context to see the chain across both.

  3. Ask where the handoffs are blocked

    Ask who is waiting for what, and which input has to arrive first. Submit the question to turn scattered requests into a dependency review.

  4. Find the upstream dependency

    The chain starts with the account team confirming customer requirements. Product needs that input before Service can prepare. Open the source behind the first blocker.

  5. Open the Product review

    Product’s review explains why the scope is still open. The required reports have not been confirmed with the customer. Read the transcript to check the missing input.

  6. Check what Product needs

    Product specifically needs the account team to confirm which reports are required. Chasing rollout preparation alone will not solve that. Return to your draft.

  7. Unblock the first handoff

    Confirm who in the account team will validate the requirements. Product can then confirm scope, and Service can prepare. You have a first move that helps the whole chain progress.
