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

PARTING THOUGHT

16

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)
