Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS) is scaling framework created by Craig Larman and Bas Vodde. I Presented a case study on LeSS to PlayScrum-Pune user group on 7th Nov.
This document discusses how the organization scaled its use of Scrum through adopting Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS) principles. It describes the organization's previous issues with high costs, long cycles, dependencies between teams and products. Adopting LeSS aimed to reduce time to market, costs and dependencies by forming autonomous self-organizing teams, limiting work in progress, avoiding handoffs and queues, and having managers focus on system design and impediment removal instead of people management. The document outlines the thought process and rules around implementing LeSS, including considering team structure and alignment to products.
This presentation gives an overview of the 4 approaches to Scaling Agile - Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD), Large Scale Scrum (LeSS) and Scaling Agile at Spotify (SA@S).
Foundations of the Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe® ) 4.5netmind
El Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) es una base de conocimientos para adoptar métodos de trabajo ágiles en grandes organizaciones. SAFe presenta de forma gráfica un modelo de gestión para escalar la aplicación de las prácticas ágiles de un equipo a la gestión de programas, y de la gestión de programas al conjunto de la organización.
Este modelo para la adopción y transformación ágil de las organizaciones fué diseñado por Dean Leffingwell, a partir de sus libros “Agile Software Requeriments: Lean Requeriments for Teams Programs and the Enterprise” y “Scaling Software Agility: Best Practices for Large Enterprise”, y se ha implementado con éxito en grandes organizaciones de todo el mundo. 60 de las 100 compañías más grandes de Estados Unidos están utilizando SAFe como guía de referencia para la adopción de Agile.
El modelo de gestión propuesto por SAFe cubre el conjunto de la organización, desde los equipos, hasta los niveles de mayor responsabilidad. El modelo estructura en tres niveles: Equipo, Programa y Portfolio, aunque en la última versión, SAFe 4.0, introduce un 4º nivel opcional para soluciones de extremadamente grandes y complejas. Para cada uno de estos niveles SAFe define los roles, estructuras, actividades, artefactos, prácticas y técnicas adecuadas.

Common challenges in adopting Agile: IIBA Northampton event 23rd August 2011IIBA UK Chapter
This document discusses common challenges in adopting agile practices. It begins with an overview of traditional waterfall development versus agile development. Some key challenges discussed include focusing too much on processes rather than individuals, misunderstanding that agile is not about going faster but delivering value continuously, and the difficulty of reorganizing into cross-functional teams. The document emphasizes that agile relies heavily on teamwork, motivation, and new skills that take time to develop. Adopting agile also may require changes across the entire organization.
This document introduces the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) as an approach for applying Agile and Lean principles at an enterprise scale. It discusses how traditional development methods are not keeping pace with increasing software complexity. SAFe is presented as a proven framework that harnesses the power of Agile for large software enterprises through elements like Agile teams, program execution, alignment, code quality, and scaling practices up to the portfolio level. The document advocates for SAFe's ability to accelerate value delivery, make money faster, deliver better customer fit, and reduce risk through approaches like continuous delivery, cadenced development, and synchronizing teams.
AgileLIVE – Accelerate Enterprise Agile with the Scaled Agile Framework®: Part IVersionOne
Interested in finding out how to scale agile faster, easier and smarter using the Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe)? If so, make sure you watch this two-part webinar series!
Scrum, XP, Kanban and related methods have been proven to provide step changes in productivity and quality for software teams. However, these methods do not have the native constructs necessary to scale across the enterprise. What the industry desperately needs is a solution that moves from a set of simplistic, disparate, development-centric methods, to a scalable, unified approach that addresses the complex constructs and additional stakeholders in the organization – and accelerates the realization of enterprise-class product or service initiatives via aligned and cooperative solution development.
Part I: Join Dean Leffingwell, software industry veteran and Lean Systems Society Fellow, for an overview of SAFe, a publicly–accessible knowledge base of proven lean and agile practices for enterprise-class software development.
Dean Leffingwell, software industry veteran and Lean Systems Society Fellow, has spent his career helping software teams achieve their goals. A renowned methodologist, author, coach, entrepreneur and executive, Dean's most recent project is the Scaled Agile Framework (scaledagileframework.com), a public-facing website which describes a comprehensive system for scaling lean and agile practices to the largest software enterprises.

Dev up 2016 Demystifying the scaled agile frameworkAngela Dugan
Just when companies seems to be warming up to agile, here comes SCALED agile. But how is SAFe really different than agile? Does using the SAFe framework undermine the scrum teams? Isn’t SAFe just a glorified version of waterfall that companies adopt when they can’t handle “real” agile? I decided the best solution was to go through the training and spend some time practicing it in the field. What I found was that SAFe leverages the best of Lean, Kanban, and scrum. SAFe is intended for large, enterprise customers delivering extremely complex and interdependent systems, but that doesn’t mean it offers nothing to smaller teams. Since becoming a Safe program consultant, I have coached a number of my smaller customers on improving their software development and delivery processes leveraging techniques from SAFe. In this interactive session, I plan to quickly walk through the tenets of SAFe, share some of my learnings with you, and help you to understand when and how SAFe can benefit your team!

Leading Large Scale Product Development with Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS)Kamlesh Ravlani
Organizations are frequently embarking on large scale product development initiatives involving hundreds, sometimes thousands of team members. Scale brings in additional complexity, non-linear behavior and risk. On the other hand, organizations are actively identifying ways to reduce hierarchies and reducing layers of middle management to become adaptive and agile.
Leaders leading large scale product development initiatives are seeking structure and process clarity to fail-proof their undertaking. Plethora of (Scrum) scaling frameworks and methodologies are trying to address these challenges. Some organically and others in more prescriptive way. In this session Kamlesh Ravlani discusses Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS) framework and how leaders can apply it to re-design and descale their organization to scale the value delivery.
Large-Scale Scrum is Scrum applied to many teams working on one product. Scrum is almost linearly scalable, hence LeSS framework elements are essentially the same as one team Scrum. LeSS is well balanced between empirical process control and defined elements to work with 2 to 8 teams. From my practical experience working on and leading multiple large scale product development initiatives, and LeSS framework, I'll share elements and practices useful for leaders to re-design the organizations and to enhance the focus on customer value.

Scaling approaches comparison - Lean/Agile US 2017Yuval Yeret
The document compares different approaches for scaling agile, including SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework), LeSS (Large Scale Scrum), and program/portfolio Kanban. It notes that most experts agree teams should only scale when they cannot effectively divide work. When dependencies exist between teams, options include SAFe, LeSS, or using a program/portfolio Kanban approach to visualize work. The document asks questions to help determine the best scaling approach based on factors like guidance needed, agility required, and leadership commitment to change.
The process of adopting Agile in any organization is challenging in many ways. It is especially challenging in larger organizations because of complex infrastructures, numerous legacy systems and mature organizational cultures. These larger organizations often underestimate the difficulty of getting Agile right.
This presentation will focus on the common challenges of Agile adoption. Tips are provided to help improve the chances of Agile adoption success.
Real world experience from Microsoft - Deniz ErcoskunAgileSparks
Microsoft developer division has implemented SCRUM while developing Visual Studio 2012, and TFS 2012. In this talk we will cover information on this implementation. You will learn about why Microsoft has decided to implement SCRUM, best practices that was helpful for us. How implementing SCRUM has changed our cadence and product delivery cycle. The content will be our developer division SCRUM journey. We are not pure SCRUM put at future leavel we are. I will also discuss which part of our process is SCRUm which part still is not.
The document discusses scaling agile practices from Scrum to larger projects and organizations. It introduces IBM's Agile Scaling Model which includes core agile development, Disciplined Agile Delivery, and Agility@Scale. Key practices that need to be scaled include product backlogs, roles, release planning, sprint planning, and sprint demos to address factors like large team sizes, geographic distribution, and organizational complexity. Case studies are provided on how organizations have successfully scaled agile.
Do we really need to scale and if the answer is yes, then what? Do we focus on structure or delivery? In this presentation, Naveen helps us understand how LeSS helps in scaling when it is needed, while remaining true to scrum teams delivering shippable product increments at the end of every sprint.
The document discusses how team size impacts productivity. Research shows that individual contributions decrease as team size increases, due to issues with coordination, motivation, and social loafing. Social loafing occurs when people put in less effort as part of a group compared to working alone. The document recommends keeping team sizes small, between 4-5 members, to optimize performance. It provides options to address social loafing, such as dividing tasks, creating a sense of urgency, and increasing transparency.
More Agile and LeSS dysfunction - may 2015Rowan Bunning
Whilst becoming proficient at single-team Agile is not easy, scaling to many teams and possibly many sites adds many additional challenges.
Often these challenges include...
1. Water-Scrum-Fall
2. The 'contract game' and its misalignment with "customer collaboration over contract negotiation"
3. Release rigidity - inability to adjust scope and/or release timing in order to maximise value for money
4. Limited visibility and transparency
5. Dependency hell
6. Skills bottlenecks
7. Lack of cross-team learning
8. Lack of design and architectural alignment whilst avoiding 'ivory tower' architecture
9. Inability to resolve organisational mis-alignment issues outside of delivery teams
Not all frameworks marketed as Agile are designed to address these problems.
In this session, we will introduce Large-Scaled Scrum (LeSS) as an organisational design framework and illustrate how it provides solutions to problems that commonly lead to friction, deliver challenges and difficulties realising the benefits of Agile within large programs and product development efforts.
We will outline each organisational dysfunction / scaling challenge, and connect these with the elements of LeSS that avoid the dysfunction or greatly LeSSen the problem

Social loafing occurs when people put in less effort as part of a group compared to working alone. The document recommends keeping team sizes small, between 4-5 members, to optimize performance. It provides options to address social loafing, such as dividing tasks, creating a sense of urgency, and increasing transparency.
More Agile and LeSS dysfunction - may 2015Rowan Bunning
Whilst becoming proficient at single-team Agile is not easy, scaling to many teams and possibly many sites adds many additional challenges.
Often these challenges include...
1. Water-Scrum-Fall
2. The 'contract game' and its misalignment with "customer collaboration over contract negotiation"
3. Release rigidity - inability to adjust scope and/or release timing in order to maximise value for money
4. Limited visibility and transparency
5. Dependency hell
6. Skills bottlenecks
7. Lack of cross-team learning
8. Lack of design and architectural alignment whilst avoiding 'ivory tower' architecture
9. Inability to resolve organisational mis-alignment issues outside of delivery teams
Not all frameworks marketed as Agile are designed to address these problems.
In this session, we will introduce Large-Scaled Scrum (LeSS) as an organisational design framework and illustrate how it provides solutions to problems that commonly lead to friction, deliver challenges and difficulties realising the benefits of Agile within large programs and product development efforts.
We will outline each organisational dysfunction / scaling challenge, and connect these with the elements of LeSS that avoid the dysfunction or greatly LeSSen the problem

We all agree that BizDevOps (or Agile Technical) practice is something we would love to follow in the products we build.
Ranjith Tharayil addresses the question, "are BizDevOps practices just good to have or is it a must?" If it's a "must ", do our teams understand the urgency to change their thought process? As leaders are we motivating them enough and enabling the right environment to help embrace it?
The document summarizes a presentation on how businesses can deliver more value with smaller teams through agile adoption. It discusses how agile was initially adopted to achieve faster time to market, better quality, and more value delivery. However, new product failure rates remain high at 41% on average across industries. The presentation advocates adopting the lean startup model and cites case studies of companies that successfully implemented agile approaches to improve outcomes. It concludes by thanking the audience.
How are you leading your agile teams? Yael Rabinovich & Sagi SmolarskiAgileSparks
The document discusses how to improve team performance and engagement through agile principles. It notes that employee engagement starts with investing in managers' ability to motivate employees. Fair process is important for buy-in on decisions. Self-organization enables teams to perform at their best when leaders provide focus, clear goals and expectations, and an environment for continuous learning and improvement. Measuring outcomes rather than busywork helps maximize team value.
Why Scale? When choose each scaling approach? SAFe? LeSS? Enterprise Kanban? Other? Scaling experts will compare the different approaches, share from their experience and answer questions from the audience.

Was it Worth It? Measuring the Success of an Agility Project in Business Term...AgileSparks
Transforming a company that is working in "traditional" methodologies to "Agile" is expensive: management attention, overcoming change resistance, cost of consultants and time spent on re-education and training. Is it worth it? Measuring success in business terms is hard but may be crucial in management buy-in into executing an Agility project.
How will it improve the bottom lines? Can we expect more lines of code to be written by less developers? Can the success of an Agility project be somehow quantified?
This session looks at statistics gathered in my company - R&D, QA, Support, HR and Sales have all contributed their KPI graphs - to try and answer this question. I'll be presenting some enlightening graphs of before and after a major Agility project that covered many aspects of the company operations. Trying to explain the change both in qualitative AND in quantitative measures. Hopefully, making a clear business case for going Agile.
This document provides an overview comparison of the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) and Large Scale Scrum (LeSS) frameworks for scaling agile development. It describes some of the key aspects of each framework including their origins, principles, roles, events, and how they approach scaling agile practices to the portfolio/program and large team levels. The document aims to help readers understand the different approaches taken by SAFe and LeSS for enabling agility at an enterprise scale.
More with LeSS - An Introduction to Large Scale Scrum by Tim AbbottAgile ME
While there are multiple Scrum Scaling Frameworks, Large Scale Scrum is the leading framework for Scrum Scaling that truly drives success. More than just a prescription, we'll discuss the thinking and organizational tools as well as some of the practices that make LeSS truly unique.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) should be used to understand performance and drive better decision-making. However, most companies struggle to find the vital few KPIs. Here is a list of the 25 top KPIs is use today.
This document discusses scaling agile across large organizations. It introduces agile mindset, values, principles and practices. It also covers several frameworks for scaling agile such as Large Scale Scrum (LeSS), Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), and Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD). Adopting agile requires changes to organizational culture and giving autonomy and mastery to self-organizing teams. Scaling agile is not just about processes but transforming the mindset and empowering people.
The document discusses the "Seven Deadly Sins of Scrum" which can undermine the benefits of an agile Scrum framework. The sins include having a culture and mindset that does not fully embrace the values of agile, not properly aligning all stakeholders to the change, and failing to involve testers fully in planning, estimation and definition of done activities. Other sins are an overemphasis on pushing work rather than teams pulling work, not refining product backlogs collaboratively, and Scrum Masters failing to facilitate organizational change and focus on agile values. The document emphasizes the importance of culture change and embracing agile values to truly realize the benefits of Scrum.
This document discusses selecting a scaling framework for agile organizations. It describes several popular frameworks like SAFe, LeSS, and Spotify and criteria for choosing one, like the type of organization, training complexity, and cultural fit. Key aspects of scaling agile include changing organizational structures, communication practices, engineering practices, and product management roles. The document advocates for an incremental rollout approach starting with a pilot program and evolving the implementation over time through metrics and feedback.
Lean Six Sigma is a systematic method used to improve business processes, products, and quality. It focuses on reducing process variation and cycle time through the use of statistical tools and teamwork. The method was pioneered in the 1980s and is now used by many large companies. Lean Six Sigma projects follow a defined roadmap of measuring the current process, analyzing root causes of defects, improving the process, and controlling the gains. Projects are led by a Black Belt with support from a Green Belt, Champion, and other roles using defined phases and tools. Using Lean Six Sigma provides benefits such as proven success, a structured approach, and fact-based results.

When introducing Workday into your organization, how you manage change is critical to a successful transition. While change is most often driven from a technology perspective, a successful change management program should be focused on the impact to strategy, business processes, and people. Increasing user adoption of Workday and improving how work gets done within an organization requires an intentional investment of effort.
Speed, agility and reduced time to market are becoming increasingly important for Technology organizations. As more business moves online, existing business models and industries are disrupted and new ones are enabled. Technology organizations are facing the challenge of how to transition to agile ways of working. Transform the existing team? Build a separate digital team? Or do both?

Scaling Agile is easily misunderstood. Scaling is the term we often hear used to describe using Agile methods with large enterprises. Larger enterprises often deal with bigger and more complex problems than small ones. They have more employees, subcontracting companies, different business units, more processes and a strong culture that defines how things are done. At the same time, they need to be able to deliver results in an ever-changing business environment. They need to be Agile but the bigger the company, the bigger the challenges are for scaling Agile.
Scaling frameworks available in the market today are maturing quickly and provide a variety of choices. Like the Agile Manifesto, these frameworks are based on principles, and they vary widely in the specificity of the recommended approach.
In this session, we will compare how two scaling frameworks, LeSS and SAFe, address the challenges of agility at scale. We will talk about how these two frameworks align, coordinate, and manage dependencies across multiple teams to maintain consistency and agility at scale.

Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.
