Scale Up Scrum to a Higher Level

Scale Up Scrum to a Higher Level

Slides are here

Often referred to as "Scrum of Scrum" - and SAFe Scaled Agile Framework - and this year, LESS Large Scale Scrum - all these are the logical extension to ramp up Scrum to a higher level -and has been tried in various flavors.  So why is this so hard ? 

When multiple development teams cooperate on the delivery of a single software product, they face unique challenges: dependencies, integration issues, and quality differentials. Even if those teams are high-performance Scrum teams, the communication pathways in Scrum won’t suffice. The Scrum framework wasn’t designed to support more than a single team. The Scaled Professional Scrum framework (a.k.a. the "Nexus") was designed to handle these higher level functions.

We will introduce Nexus and learn the new roles, events, and artifacts that provide the "exoskeleton" to existing Scrum teams, enabling them to scale effectively.

Even if you have evaluated or adopted other scaling frameworks and methodologies or are just starting to experience the friction of software development at scale, come and be part of the conversation. Our speaker Richard Hundhausen wants you to bring your most challenging Scrum development and scaling questions and get them answered.
