About the Book
Many employees at several locations should collaborate on a project using agile processes – what needs to be taken into consideration for this? Scrum has long been established as a method for successful product development in small teams, but now should be applied to a larger dimension. Under pressure from digitalization, even corporations are beginning to apply their experiences from agile pilot projects to larger parts of their organization. Agile Scaling frameworks promise quick and easy solutions, but these prefabricated structures do not achieve the actual goal: an agile company. In this book, Boris Gloger describes an alternative solution based on his own experiences. When scaling Scrum, it isn’t about multiplying a method. It’s about taking a new perspective on the large project and seeing it as a fractal-scaled organization. What is required are decoupled product architectures, consistently thinking from the customer’s perspective, a project management office acting as a prudent ScrumMaster and a desire to learn new skills, all supported by modern infrastructures. And finally, it needs leadership who realizes their most important duty is to enable collaboration across all levels.
