LKCE19 Klaus Leopold - Flight Levels in Action
Klaus Leopold discusses applying the Flight Levels model to improve agility at a car classifieds company with around 300 employees organized into cross-functional product teams. The company has made improvements but still faces long wait times and difficulties executing strategy due to dependencies between teams. Using Flight Levels, the company can define what work systems are needed at each level, how items flow between levels, and which roles should interact to establish end-to-end value creation.

- 36. @klausleopold The Flight Levelsmodel 1. Understand the context The Flight Levels Model is not a recipe that can be applied in the same way in every organization. 2. Build a flight levels architecture A flight levels architecture tells us what work systems are required on which flight level and how the systems are connected to each other in order to establish end-to-end value creation in an organization. 3. Define flight items and flight routes Flight items tell us which work item types are processed in which work systems. Flight routes tell us how the work items fly over the different work systems. 4. Define agile interactions Agile interactions tell us who should talk to whom, about what and how often. 5. Take-off Take-off describes an agile roll-out approach for establishing the Flight Levels model in a company.
