The commitment used to be to the Sprint Goal but this was so widely misinterpreted to committing to deliver all User Stories (a very non- Agile interpretation) that "commitment" has been dropped.</p><p class="ygrps-yiv-2063505876MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="ygrps-yiv-2063505876MsoNormal">So, to your question about minimal dependencies.</p><p class="ygrps-yiv-2063505876MsoNormal">Each team should have some sort of minimum that is guaranteed (Moscow rules, MVP, MMF etc).
