Going Beyond Scrum: Part 1
Chapter 5 of the new book, Lean-Agile Software Development: Achieving Enterprise Agility, discusses “Going beyond Scrum.” This is a big chapter, so we are going to take it in two parts. First, we want to consider the implications of the maturing and segmentation of the Scrum community and two key factors required for being able to scale Scrum to an enterprise: taking a systemic approach and looking at the team holistically, how it fits with and must work within the organization. Next time, we will look at Kanban, managing the flow of work, and using the Scrum clinic to (reusing) good practices learned by others.
