The document discusses GoodData's transition from multiple specialized component teams working across different locations to implementing Scrum with cross-functional teams collocated in the same office in order to improve collaboration, reduce dependencies between teams, and better manage large, complex projects as the company grew to over 300 employees serving business intelligence to major customers from offices in Prague, Brno, and San Francisco. Key aspects of their Scrum implementation discussed include daily stand-ups, sprint planning and retrospectives, backlog grooming, and sprint demos. The changes helped make teams more effective and the product development process smoother.
