SCALING AGILE: WHEN SHOULD WE SCALE?
When we have a CONFIDENT Team
We can’t drive a team which doesn’t have confidence to take
the plunge
When we have a STRONG Base
When an existing practice has been producing good results and
we wish to spread the values to a wider group/practice –
across multiple levels of the organization

1. Start small, but have a shared vision to grow
2. Nothing excites better than success – use it well
3. Failures are best teachers – use it smart
However you shape it – it’s still a balloon! Don’t
get scared by the look or presentation (e.g. f/w)
