About the Book
If you are a large organization that has seen the benefits of Agile approaches on teams, you have either attempted to or talked about scaling Agile. Scaling has become synonymous with overburdened and cumbersome frameworks that create more problems than they solve. We need a simpler solution to the problem of scaling Agile. We need to break this problem down to its basic tenet - Optimizing the flow of value to customers. The strategy of Kanban can be applied to do exactly that. In doing so, we can discard the practices proposed by common Agile scaling frameworks and go to the root of what we are looking to accomplish - To make organizations more Effective, Efficient, and Predictable.
In this book, you will learn how to find the answers to the most common questions leaders ask-
- What are our teams working on?
- Does the work map to our organization's strategy?
- What is blocking the flow of value to customers?
- When will things get done?
- How do we improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and predictability of the organization?
