An organizational solution to this problem is (Amazon’s) “single-threaded owner” model: all the disciplines report to (perhaps with a dotted line in a matrix org) one directly-responsible manager. The manager sees the big picture and can break down roadblocks, though they still may be building their own empire and reluctant to pivot or shut down their big project.
