Scaling Lean & Agile Development: Thinking & Organizational Tools

Introduction

Reflecting my work over recent years, this text explores scaling lean and agile development with Large-Scale Scrum. It was written with my co-author Bas Vodde, who has long and in-depth experience with very large agile product development and enterprise transformations (at Nokia Networks and NSN), and like me, has worked in large embedded systems.

This books explores the foundation for a successful enterprise transformation to large-scale lean or agile product development: the thinking tools and organizational redesign tools necessary to lay the foundation for new practices. Without leadership (and others) that understand and institute these foundational elements, it is difficult to succeed with applying the practices.

Companion Book: Practices for Scaling Lean & Agile Development

This book is related to a second companion book that explores the more concrete practices in scaling lean and agile product development: Practices for Scaling Lean & Agile Development: Successful Large, Multisite & Offshore Products with Large-Scale Scrum
