Enable Organization-Wide Collaboration by Scaling Agile
Execute a disciplined approach to rolling out Agile methods in the organization.
Onsite Workshop
By not addressing fragmented expectations of Agile development and the intricacies of your organization’s structure and projects:
- Individual development teams may optimize their own processes and tools without considering the effects on dependent teams or misalignment with business objectives.
- Successful practices seen in other pilot teams will be implemented without considering differences in context, environments, goals, and constraints.
- Significant effort and time is spent coordinating large and numerous development teams, which may distract teams from delivering business value.
Following well-defined and grounded development, planning, and collaboration practices when scaling Agile initiatives can:
- Alleviate bottlenecks, constraints, and tension in current Agile development processes and organizational structures to ensure your teams have a solid foundation to scale Agile.
- Develop realistic and accurate product release plans based on key insights from multiple roles and functions to proactively address task and team dependencies.
- Ensure functional groups or business units are striving toward and achieving the same business and development objectives by focusing on a common set of principles and behaviors.
Module 1: Gauge Your Readiness to Scale Up Agile
The Purpose
- Identify the business objectives and functional group drivers for adopting Agile practices to gauge the fit of scaling Agile.
- Select the pilot project to demonstrate the value of scaling Agile.
- Review and evaluate your current Agile development process and functional group structure.
Key Benefits Achieved
- Understanding of the notable business and functional group gaps that can derail the scaling of Agile.
- Selection of a pilot program that will be used to gather metrics to continuously improve implementation and obtain buy-in for wider rollout.
- Realization of the root causes behind functional group and process issues in the current Agile implementation.

Module 2: Define Your Scaled Agile Target State
The Purpose
- Think of solutions to address the root causes of current communication and process issues that can derail scaling initiatives.
- Brainstorm opportunities to enhance the delivery of business value to customers.
- Generate a target state for your scaled Agile implementation.
Key Benefits Achieved
- Defined Agile capabilities and services of your functional group.
- Optimized functional group team structure, development process, and program framework to support scaled Agile in your context.
