Scrum@Scale

The Scrum@Scale framework is a natural extension of the Scrum framework. It helps you to scale Agile practices across multiple teams at different levels in your organisation. Instead of a universal, ‘one-size-fits-all,’ solution, Scrum@Scale provides a lightweight, adaptable framework with the ability to adapt to your context, making it customisable to many different industries.

You can’t just copy and paste what works for one team onto another team or department or organisation when Scaling Agile across multiple teams . You need a framework that is flexible enough to adapt and scale as needed.

The term “Scrum@Scale” describes the process of using Scrum in an environment where multiple teams collaborate on a unified product or service, scaling the Scrum framework out to teams of teams. This can include multiple teams building software incrementally against a common release plan or multiple services working together to deliver different parts of a large-scale system.

The Scrum@Scale framework provides guidance for coordinating these different types of teams by providing standardised roles and responsibilities for every team and defining how they should interact with each other within their own organization as well as across organisations when necessary.

In order to coordinate these different teams more efficiently and effectively, Scrum@Scale uses a “minimum viable bureaucracy” (MVB) approach. MVB means that there are only as many people in charge of the project as necessary for it to succeed. All other roles are created only as they’re needed.

Scrum@Scale was developed by Dr. Jeff Sutherland as a way to efficiently coordinate an ecosystem of teams. One of the co-creators of Scrum, Dr. Sutherland was also one of the founders of The Agile Manifesto and writers of the The Scrum GuideTM.
