Over at the CMCrossroad's Community blog , Julian Simpson (aka the build doctor) points out that IT shops tend to have developers, testers, release managers and sys admins working in separate silos which contributes to waste. I would add that it contributes to misery as well.

One of my favorite aspects of AnthillPro is that it tends to get everyone using the same tool while providing audited automation. This tends to help teams break down the walls in silos. The hard work is still interpersonal.
