Agile Beyond Scrum and Kanban: Scaling Agile Methods for Enterprise Success
The book delves into the world of agile methodologies and goes beyond the popular Scrum and Kanban approaches. It introduces readers to various scaling frameworks that can be adapted to the enterprise level. One of the frameworks discussed is SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework), which is designed to help organizations implement Agile practices across multiple teams and departments. SAFe provides a structured approach to scaling Agile, enabling organizations to address complex challenges and achieve business agility.
Another framework explored in the book is LeSS (Large-Scale Scrum). LeSS embraces the simplicity and flexibility of Scrum but adapts it to large-scale projects with multiple teams. It emphasizes the importance of collaboration, transparency, and trust to enable effective teamwork and deliver value to customers.
In addition to SAFe and LeSS, the book also covers the Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) framework. DAD is a hybrid framework that integrates various agile and lean practices, allowing organizations to tailor their approach to suit their specific needs. It provides guidance on how to adapt and evolve agile practices to address enterprise-level challenges, such as regulatory compliance and distributed teams.
Throughout the book, authors provide practical insights and real-world examples to help readers understand the nuances of making agile work in large organizations. They address common challenges organizations face during agile transformations, such as managing dependencies, aligning multiple teams, fostering a culture of collaboration, and redefining roles and responsibilities. By exploring these scaling frameworks and learning from real-world experiences, readers will gain the knowledge and tools needed to successfully implement and sustain Agile practices at the enterprise level.
