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.

For example, some Scrum teams may support operational needs, such as marketing, order entry, supply chain management, channels, transportation, and distribution.
