Doing Agile Right
Transformation Without Chaos
→ by Darrell Rigby, Sarah Elk, Steve Berez
Top Ideas in This Book
- The Scaled Agile Framework delivers many agile teams, but an Agile Enterprise delivers agile business systems
- Pilot agile projects sometimes succeed because the sponsor can bulldoze, not because of team execution
- Scaling agile efforts often fail when the team leading the initiative tries a big bang approach, not using agile methodologies themselves
- Most agile enterprises maintain some level of central bureaucratic structure, especially for functions like finance and legal
- Resist the urge to copy other company org charts when scaling agile
- Desire to increase innovation is among the best reasons to scale agile
- The biggest myth in scaling agile is that planning is thrown out
