**Robotic Intelligence for Scaling Agile: Exploring Subsumption Architecture**

Can the Subsumption architecture used in robotics assist in scaling Scrum/Agile? Absolutely! Mike Beedle, the inventor of Enterprise Scrum and a signatory of the Agile Manifesto, demonstrated its effectiveness in Enterprise Scrum.

If you've tried scaling agile with frameworks like SAFe, LeSS, or Scrum at Scale, but are struggling with managing dependencies, bottlenecks, and delays as more agile teams are added, it may be time to consider leveraging the architecture used in robotics—specifically, Subsumption.

Mike used to say, "Ideally all hierarchy is in subsumption." Hierarchy isn't necessarily negative if it doesn't rely on hierarchical *control* from managers. Instead, an organization should be designed so that higher levels subsume lower levels while maintaining autonomy and enabling collaborative integration across the entire organization. Implementing an organizational structure based on the Subsumption architecture allows for self-managed teams that can deliver products and services faster to the market.

In this discussion, we'll explain the concept of subsumption, showcase its real-world application at Livelo in Brazil, provide insights on implementing and scaling Scrum with it at multiple levels, and discuss the main challenges and advantages associated with this approach.

Sue Ryu is deeply passionate about finding the optimal approach to scaling Scrum/Agile, enabling multiple agile teams to function seamlessly as a cohesive, self-managed unit.

Sue's quest for answers reached fruition when she crossed paths with the late Mike Beedle, the visionary behind Enterprise Scrum, in 2016. Under his guidance, she witnessed firsthand how a venture capital firm could be restructured to effectively deliver products and services within the volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) market of today.

With over 15 years of expertise in coaching and guiding organizations in the adoption of Agile and Scrum at an enterprise level, Sue has been instrumental in driving transformation for Fortune 500 companies. Additionally, she possesses extensive experience in the design and development of software systems for telecom, financial industries, and internet startups. Having lent her expertise to renowned companies like Accenture, ADP, Bell Labs, Deutsche Bank, NYSE, and numerous others, her impact has been felt across diverse sectors since the completion of her master's degree in computer science from NYU.

For the past 6 years, Cihangir Deniz Ozdemir has been actively immersed in the world of Enterprise Scrum, and had direct discussions with its visionary creator, the late Mike Beedle, before Mike's untimely passing. 

Cihangir's journey with Scrum commenced in 2010. He expanded his expertise further by participating in one of the pioneering implementations of SAFe in Germany. In Brazil, he played a pivotal role in driving agile transformations for prominent national and multinational corporations, including Walmart.com, Livelo, Stix, Esfera, and Leroy Merlin. Throughout these endeavors, Cihangir diligently applied the principles and concepts of Enterprise Scrum, leaving an indelible mark on the agile landscape.
