Some
will say that you shouldn't even try to tackle a system bigger than
what a typical agile team can absorb; others will say that agile
just doesn’t scale beyond the simplest of systems. Experience
suggests that reality lives somewhere between these two extremes,
but where, exactly, is the clear and present question. In this
talk, we’ll first consider the dimensions of scale - complexity,
risk, and time - and then explore the ways that agility works (and
sometimes doesn’t). Along, the way, we’ll study contemporary
approaches to scaling agile, and conclude with an examination of
work yet to be done.
