Synopsis
In agile methods, small teams use roles, ceremonies and artefacts to incrementally deliver products and solutions to clients. The main challenge in large-scale agile, is inter-team communication. There are conflicting trade-offs between alignment to strategy and small team autonomy.
There are simple approaches to inter-team communication using, say, scrum-of-scrums. On the other hand, some people advocate the SAFE framework for whole enterprise agile. What approach should you choose? Should you follow a framework? Or, grow your own agile mindset? The talk is based in part on the speaker’s forthcoming book, Agile Software Engineering Skills (Springer).
