Cognitive Overload then contributes to 'Erosion of Team Morale'. Additional arrows show how 'Unclear Value Streams' directly impacts 'Cross-Team Dependencies' and 'Erosion of Team Morale', creating a complex web of cause-and-effect relationships that form a self-reinforcing cycle of organizational dysfunction. The diagram features green rounded rectangles for each problem and directional arrows showing causal relationships. A Xodiac logo appears in the bottom left corner.
