Presentation: Why Scaling Agile Doesn't Work

Track: On the Boundaries of Agile / Time: Friday 13:20 - 14:10 / Location: Hall 2

There are now several frameworks designed to address the demand for "big agile."

In this talk Jez will explain the flaws in such frameworks, why they so often fail to produce the desired effects, and what we should do instead. He will also address some common organizational obstacles to moving fast at scale: governance, budgeting, and the project paradigm - and discuss how to address them. Warning: this talk will include liberal use of real, statistically sound data.

Overview:

Large organizations often struggle to leverage software to create innovative products. A number of organizational factors conspire to create obstacles to moving fast at scale, including culture, governance, and financial management, and the application of portfolio and program management strategies that do not take advantage of the unique characteristics of software.

What you will learn:

In this training we’ll discuss how to take a lean approach to developing new products and running large scale programs of work, and how to grow a culture that enables organizations to turn software into a competitive advantage.

Audience:

  • Executives interested in strategy, leadership, organization culture, and good governance 
  • Directors of IT, both for applications and for infrastructure and operations 
  • Anyone working in program or project management, including members of the PMO 
  • People in finance and accounting or in governance, regulation, and compliance who are involved in delivery.
