As a database administrator I often find the swiftest route to the completion of development work often depends on the consumer of that work and the workflow through the departments. It seems that such an approach could be immensely beneficial as an approach to balancing workflow loads between departments with relatively interchangeable skillsets (at least the entry level). For example, software development, database administration, analytics, reporting, and systems administration will often have team members with skillsets that while more advanced in their specific discipline are sufficient for junior level work in other disciplines. Competing for project tasks with valuations that would presumably climb with the scarcity of the skills required to complete them would enable other departments the opportunity to add value providing lower level work that has the added benefit of strengthening the organization’s resilience as those portable skills grow sharper with use.
