Dos and Don'ts from the Scaled Agile Trenches
A lot of time and money has been invested in agile transformations in Denmark. The entry point to agile in many organizations has been the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe). In several organizations, the results have not (yet) lived up to the expectations, which has given agile a tarnished reputation.
In the autumn of 2023, we interviewed several people in Danish organizations who have and have had responsibility for transforming their organization towards agile. We interviewed them about their experiences with their agile transformation. We promised them anonymity and have experienced that they have shared their experiences openly with us.
We have collected the conclusions from the interviews and on this talk, we will present the main points categorized in these five points.
- Commitment and involvement from management.
- Competence-related challenges.
- Scaling and organizational transformation.
- Connection between the strategic and operational level.
- Funding and delivery models.
