Scaling Agile with Bob Galen
37m · PublishedWhat to focus on - and what to watch out for - with scaled agile implementations.
Bob Galen - agile coach, author, and speaker - talks about the three most common scaled agile anti-patterns and how to avoid them.
Key Takeaways:
1. Lead with the Teams. All successful scaled agile installations start with healthy Teams. The mentality for scaling should be 'Think like a Scrum Team'.
2. Leaders must adopt an agile mindset and ensure that your goals and message are consistent. What are you measuring? And do your behaviors support your message?
3. Don't over-commit. It's better to bite off only what you can chew and deliver on that predictably. Quality and Health need to be the focus - speed of delivery is the natural result of those two focus areas.
