One’s time, energy, and drive all tend to evaporate under the unrelenting drought of support and endorsement.

It’s OK to be UnSAFe – Scale Without Using Someone Else’s Framework

Thursday, November 10, 2022 - 11:30am to 12:30pm

Companies choose a framework like SAFe, LeSS, Nexus, or Spotify not because it’s the BEST for their company, they do it because it’s the SAFE choice (pun intended). This session shares key principles to scaling agile delivery blindly following someone else’s recipe. First, we explore reasons that organizations select an existing scaling framework....
