Agility at scale is more than replicating Scrum across teams. In this training, you'll discover what it really takes to scale agile practices sustainably. Through interactive modules, we explore structure, collaboration, planning, leadership, and transformation strategy — so you can scale with clarity and purpose.
1. The Context for Scaling Agile
Understand why organizations scale agile — and the common pitfalls. Examine how agile values, principles, and organizational context shape success at scale.
2. Structuring Teams
Explore how to structure multiple teams around value. Compare functional vs. value stream setups, reduce dependencies, and foster alignment across teams.
You'll practice system mapping to visualize value flows, bottlenecks, and coordination needs across multi-team structures.
3. Roles and Responsibilities at Scale
Discover how Product Owner, Scrum Master, and leadership roles evolve in scaled environments. Learn about enabling roles and support systems for sustained agility.
Using the Leadership Alignment Canvas, you'll work on clarifying roles and designing support systems across team boundaries.
4. Coordination and Collaboration
Design mechanisms to manage dependencies, align cadences, and strengthen feedback loops across teams. Synchronization without micromanagement.
Experience a collaborative simulation that illustrates the challenges and solutions for inter-team coordination at scale.
5. Planning & Stakeholder Engagement
Learn how to plan across multiple teams, forecast effectively, and involve stakeholders to ensure alignment and manage expectations.
Discuss stakeholder engagement techniques and reflect on planning approaches used in different agile scaling frameworks.
6. The Organizational Context
Explore the mindset, leadership models, and governance structures that enable agility at scale. Align transformation with organizational culture and systems thinking.
Through systemic mapping, you'll identify key enablers and organizational constraints for large-scale agility.
7. Implementing Agile at Scale
Discover different change strategies (evolutionary vs. revolutionary), choose fitting frameworks, and lead large-scale transformations based on empirical learning.
Compare SAFe, LeSS, Nexus, and Scrum@Scale and draft your own scaling roadmap for application within your organization.
Bring Your Own Ideas & Questions
We encourage participants to bring their questions to the training. Any question and real-world example from your side will make everything you and others learn more tangible. It will also result in more energy throughout the training which is connected to better learning.
