Scaling Agile Product Delivery with Nexus – It is Turtles all the way down
*************************************************** IEEE NH CS Meeting *********************************************
************************************** This talk is co-sponsored by IEEE NH WIE *****************************************
******************************************** ROOM CHANGE: FROM 149 TO 380 ****************************************
Between 70 and 80% of Agile teams use Scrum. Scrum has become the de-facto standard for Agile team delivery. And with the success of Scrum organizations are now looking to employ Agile at Scale. Scaling means different things to different people, but broadly can be described as either growing the number of people delivering software in an agile way (agile product delivery) or growing the use of agile in ancillary parts of software delivery supply chain. In this talk we focus on how Nexus, an exoskeleton for Scrum can help scale your Agile product delivery. We describe the challenges in scaling Scrum and how Nexus extends Scrum to allow for multiple teams to work together in an effective and agile way. This supports teams in an incremental approach to scaling Scrum by building on the success of team level Scrum adoption.
In this talk we:
- What does scaling mean ?
- The challenges of scaling Scrum
- introducing Nexus
- Nexus in practice
- Connecting Nexuses – Nexus+
- Applying Nexus in your organization
