Summary


Scrum has been used in implementations small and large, in just about every corner of the earth with just about every technology! It is simple enough to start today, yet humans can greatly complicate things. Sometimes teams can be too small; look at ways of grouping people so that five different projects aren't competing for the same resources, causing people to multitask and to lose precious productive hours as a result.

When scaling Scrum, start small if you can, and grow teams as needed. Regardless of the number of teams, focus on creating an environment in which people thrive and get things done. The resulting team motivation will help people outperform any other way of management. Recruit an Agile project coordinator in the largest of programs to help keep everything moving and everyone on the same page. In Chapter 11, Scrum and the Future, we will discuss how Scrum will change the organization and operation modes of businesses in the future.
