Abstract

If you’ve established an agile team and provided the appropriate support you’re likely seeing amazing results. If you’ve grown that to 3 or 5 teams, you’re likely still seeing those result, though you’re also probably starting to get concerned about cross-team dependencies and coordinated multi-team initiatives. If you’re contemplating scaling to a 200, 500 or 1000 person software development organization – you’re going to need to scale your thinking. In this session we will explore proven practices and specific examples of applying agile at enterprise scale based on the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) and Rally Software’s more than a decade of experience working with the largest and most progressive organizations in the world.
