  • You already know you need to scale your agile framework to help your growing teams to work together more efficiently – but what system should you implement, Scrum@Scale or SAFe?

    Scrum@Scale was developed by Dr. Jeff Sutherland and Alex Brown. It is a framework that lets businesses effectively manage large-scale agile implementations. Scrum@Scale is an extension of the familiar Scrum framework, which means that wherever Scrum is implemented, Scrum@Scale is a logical next step in scaling. The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) utilizes a highly structured framework to adopt a scaling framework. Unlike Scrum@Scale, SAFe is NOT based on Scrum and is more challenging to customize from team to team.

  • You have decided to scale. It is time to determine what framework for scaling you will use.

    • Scrum@Scale

    • SAFe

    • LeSS

    • Nexus

    • Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD)

    • a custom solution

    By implementing one of these frameworks, you will avoid reinventing the wheel.  Each framework provides structure, process, and principles to follow.  Let’s look at the characteristics of Scrum@Scale and SAFe.

  • Warning: DO NOT SCALE IF YOU DON’T NEED TO.

    I know this warning might shoot me in the foot as an Agile Coach and Scrum@Scale Trainer, but please read that again:  Do not scale if you don’t need to. Scale is complicated, expensive, disruptive, and may slow down delivery. Often when an organization thinks they need to scale, what they need to do is de-scale. They need to go back to the basics-create dedicated self-management and cross-functional teams. Aggressively remove dependencies. Give teams the power to use Product Thinking to drive the product’s outcomes. Please continue reading if you still need to scale after doing all these things.
