Are you scaling Agile in your enterprise? It\u2019s a challenge to take what makes one Agile team successful and amplify that across an organization. Yet, it\u2019s becoming a necessity as organizations seek to leverage the benefits of Agile to create innovative digital products and services.<\/p>\n

For example, an airline may have a sleek mobile app, but that must connect seamlessly to a green screen-driven, legacy system for ticketing. Regulations that require compliance by a certain date (think GDPR), involve coordination among many departments, systems, and technologies. New applications and services can blend together people, processes, and technologies in ways never before imagined.<\/p>\n

These create complex situations where a single team can\u2019t make impactful business changes. As your initiatives grow, multiple teams need to work together. Naturally, as more teams are involved, dependencies arise which create handoff and communication delays.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is why having a plan for how you will scale agile is so critical. Scrum or Kanban alone don\u2019t provide an answer. It\u2019s one thing to successfully implement Agile within individual teams. It\u2019s quite another to extend it across teams to deliver quickly on shared objectives and a common mission. Agile-scaling frameworks such as SAFe, LeSS, and DaD are a good place to start but aren\u2019t the only considerations.<\/p>\n

These are typical challenges to keep in mind when scaling agile:<\/p>\n
