description

Cross device applications have become more common among major companies in the last few years. It's a real challenge to preserve Agility and to keep your lead time short enough over 10 or 20 applications which also have to grow together… Were shall we start, how can we organize the team to make it work flawlessly? Rock bands from the late 60's and early 70's are a reference for a lot of people across several domains: Artists, Inventors, Scientists, and many more. Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Doors,… So many great examples of people creating amazing work together and also a wonderful source of inspiration. Let's take a deeper look at Led Zeppelin. A mythic rock band with charismatic members and a lot of interesting patterns with many similarities to Scrum. They that helped us to make our teams rock and build powerful, complex yet really Agile products.
