Scaling Agile When Agile Moves to the Centre

Some organisations are keen to adopt an agile approach, either through experience or observation, and seek to scale and embed it organisation wide. This is usually because of the benefits outlined so far, but it comes with a warning. As outlined in the Harvard Business Review’s article ‘Agile at Scale’, not every function needs an agile team, and caution must be exercised against launching organisational-wide agile teams without careful consideration, as it risks bottlenecks in collaboration.68

In addition to adopting an agile approach, a business needs to review and potentially evolve its budgeting process to remove friction or disturbance and align on expectations.

Scaling agile is not for the faint-hearted and is an operating model and cultural transformation. It should be approached with a transition mindset, where the effectiveness and stickiness of agile working can be tested in different areas. Figure 35 shows organisational concepts from scaled agile, which is well cited as the ‘Spotify Model’, and illustrates how squads, tribes, chapters, and guilds work.
