Description

Scaled Scrum and Lean-Agile practices provide essential strategies to address large and complex product development challenges not addressed in traditional Scrum. This Scrum/ Lean-Agile handbook provides a comprehensive review and analysis of industry-proven scaling strategies that enable business agility on an enterprise scale. Free of marketing hype or vendor bias, this book helps you decide which practices best fit your situation. You'll start with an introduction to Scrum as a lightweight software development framework and then explore common approaches to scaling it for more complex development scenarios. The book will then guide you through systems theory, lean development, and the application of holistic thinking to more complex software and system development activities. Throughout, you'll learn how to support multiple teams working in collaboration to develop large and complex products and explore how to manage cross-team integration, dependency, and synchronization issues. Later, you'll learn how to improve enterprise operational efficiency across value creation and value delivery activities, before discovering how to align product portfolio investments with corporate strategies. By the end of this Scrum book, you and your product teams will be able to get the most value out of Agile at scale, even in complex cyber-physical system development environments.

What you will learn

  • Understand the limitations of traditional Scrum practices
  • Explore the roles and responsibilities in a scaled Scrum and Lean-Agile development environment
  • Tailor your Scrum approach to support portfolio and large product development needs
  • Apply systems thinking to evaluate the impacts of changes in the interdependent parts of a larger development and delivery system
  • Scale Scrum practices at both the program and portfolio levels of management
  • Understand how DevOps, test automation, and CI/CD capabilities help in scaling Scrum practices

Scaling Scrum Across Modern Enterprises is a must-have book for anyone who would like a comprehensive understanding of Agile and Scrum. This book addresses the needs of everyone from the beginner who would like a basic understanding of Scrum to those who are looking to scale its use on large, high value enterprise level efforts. Additionally, Cecil Rupp provides the historical context and progression of Agile, which is a fascinating journey unto itself that you will not find in most books on this topic.This book proves to be timely as the IT industry continues the move to business alignment, moving from a “project-focused” to a “product-oriented” mindset and development practices. Right from the start, the author makes the case for modern Scrum and Agile practices supporting and enabling the need for “business agility.” He then lays the conceptual foundation of Agile to provide the reader with a common understanding before moving into the advanced concepts that result in a detailed comparison of the approaches to scaling. In Section 2, Cecil provides a great look at the major approaches used today to scale Agile by building on the concepts he explained earlier in the book. He is not prescriptive but rather provides a primer that can be used by anyone wondering about the options to take the next steps as demand for larger development efforts dictate.I highly recommend this book for those just starting out as Agile/Scrum practitioners and those of us who are experienced and using it daily. But this is also an great resource for middle and senior managers who want to understand what makes Agile work and the pitfalls that need to be avoided as Agile is implemented throughout the organization.

My current day job involves being involved with a large enterprise Scrum install. This book was an excellent survey book of various different ways to scale Scrum in the enterprise - including the way my day job believes we scale scrum - and other ways the agile community has come up with scaling Scrum.By the in depth explanation of these other techniques I was able to both understand what some of the logic behind what we do AND see how other techniques solve our challenges in slightly different manners (with other sets of tradeoffs).Read this book especially if you're involved in technology or scrum leadership in large enterprises!

The weaving of information systems into all aspects of our lives demands that organizations be able to inject their business imperatives and mission into all aspects of their business not just developing software. Product managers must embrace the agility required to stay competitive as oftentimes your customer interacts with your product offering through a software interface.Scaling Scrum Across Modern Enterprises takes this complex subject and provides insight into each of the Scrum approaches available, the basis of how we got there and the best practices to get the most out of the chosen approach. Another, important aspect covered in the book is the impact of Scrum on cost and how best to budget for Scrum projects.The book provides great insight into why the waterfall approach to software development did not meet the requirements of corporations needing to stay competitive and why small teams, iteration, more frequent testing minimizes the impact of defects and improves not only development throughput but ultimately the product delivered to the customer.An event like the pandemic re-enforces the need for organizations to able to adapt their business to produce new products quickly. The book is an ideal reference for any organization looking to improve their businesses ability to react quickly to the rapidly evolving world around us.
