Scale agile

Last updated Jun 5, 2023

Frameworks:

• Scrum of Scrums
• Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe)
• Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS)
• Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD)
• The Spotify Model

• Treat scaling models like SAFe, Scrum of Scrums, LeSS, etc., as general frameworks, not instruction manuals.
• Different situations require different solutions. It’s okay to mix and match elements from multiple frameworks, as long as you apply the principles and values of the Agile manifesto.
• Don’t try to scale without prior Agile experience. Going straight from Waterfall to scaled Agile can be risky without a knowledgeable guide.
• Finally, and most importantly, don’t scale if it isn’t necessary. The larger your team, the more complex and difficult your project becomes.
