A few weeks ago I delivered a session on Scaling Agile Planning to Support Large Distributed Programs at the 2014 IBM Innovate conference. The session was well received so have posted a copy of the slides for anyone interested, click here.

In this session, I discussed my lesson learned applying Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) and Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) to solve some of the common scaling challenges at several large organizations where I consulted an an agile coach and scrummaster. 

Scaling Agile - Session Abstract

Many organizations have embraced agile practices only to realize that Scrum and Extreme Programming (XP) cover the development teams’ practices, but they do not usually scale to the rest of the organization.

Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) and Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) provide approaches for adopting agile development at enterprise scale. Programs that attempt to scale agile methods often encounter enterprise challenges: process and documentation culture, underestimation of planning effort, and managing a complicated infrastructure.
