For those of you working in an enterprise and trying to implement Agile software development methodologies, you may be wondering how it’s possible to implement Agile best practices for your organization. In an enterprise, with legacy systems, system teams, complexity, and sheer size of an organization, sometimes the Agile manifesto sounds good on paper but really falls short of working in the “real world.”
Recently released as version 1.0, check out the Scaled Agile Framework at http://scaledagileframework.com. I’ve found this framework to be valuable at helping me think about how agile can fit within a broader enterprise and perhaps you can take bits and pieces of it and apply it within your organization as well.
I’ve specifically found their System Team Abstract and System Architect abstract helpful in how these types of functions sit inside an enterprise and integrate well in an agile environment.
