Identifying Scrum CoE benefits
Once the executives make the decision to implement Scrum and other Agile practices on an enterprise scale, they should explore the benefits of creating a CoE to assist with the efforts. Let's take a look at some of the areas where a CoE can be of benefit.
Establishing a Scrum scaling framework for agility
No two enterprise Scrum implementations are alike. The CoE defines and builds the Scrum scaling framework that fits the political and business dynamics within the organization. In addition, the CoE assesses Scrum team needs and capabilities across the organization, constantly evaluates the gaps, and works to fill the gaps with functional Scrum teams. On an enterprise scale, Scrum teams fulfill other functional roles besides product development. For example, some Scrum teams may support operational needs, such as marketing, order entry, supply chain management, channels, transportation, and distribution.
