Zoom link - will be shared with RSVPed members only.

Abstract:
Do you wonder which Agile Scaling framework fits your organization's purpose? Why do some so-called Agile scaling frameworks revert your organization to the waterfall? In this talk, you will learn the difference between generative and prescriptive mechanisms. As a community, we have frankly struggled with scaling agile. The imperative to safely scale agile could not be greater, and yet we are at the precipice of reverting to plan-driven mechanisms. This session is a master talk for seasoned practitioners. You will learn about fat-tailed statistical characteristics to grasp the perils facing large-scale digital transformations. We will review dependency management structures in popular scaling frameworks so you can understand why prescriptive practices lead to outsized negative outcomes. You will apply generative practices to your organization's agile scaling situation and take one actionable step to improve your success with scaling agile.
