Scaling without SAFe

Is using SAFe the only safe way to scale agile? This presentation takes a look at and alternative approach to scaling including:
  • The differences between a Daily Scrum and a Scrum of Scrums
  • Product Ownership scaling
  • The Scrum Super Cell
  • Portfolio Kanban
  • Inception and governance at scale
  • Scaling the number of teams for a product; and
  • Handling continuous improvement at scale.

The Enterprise Agility Model

What is enterprise agility? Most implementations of Agile and Lean look at how it applies to teams first. This is often successful, but there then appears to be a barrier that cannot be overcome, even with scaling Agile methods such as SAFe. As the world’s forefront thoughtleader of the enterprise agile model, Renee introduces what enterprise agility really is and puts the current models in their place, highlighting:
  • The model
  • Examples of current popular Agile approaches and how they fit against the model
  • How to apply the model to your enterprise transformation
  • How, using the model, you can identify gaps in the transformation, or how to better plan progress of transformation
  • How, using the model, you can identify key change impact areas and mitigate/plan more effectively against these areas.
