We asked the Panel to share with us their stories of BAD things, Ugly Things and Good things they have borne witness to, and the things they have learned from their experience of scaling agile teams of teams, to very large organisations.
Such a long way we’ve come as a community to have gone through so many scaling adventures now and interesting to hear the breadth of what we have learned in that time.
This was our first test of recording an episode of The Weekly ReBoot live so it was kind of an experiment for us, but happy to say it recorded ok enough for us to want to give that another go. In terms of the audio you will hear some mixed qualities and I’ve tried to edit up where I can. In terms of the insights and answers, they were top notch, so I hope you enjoy listening along to our panel of experienced experts.
Ed and I hope to re-running a similar session as a Meet-Up later in the year so stay tuned to the Weekly ReBoot to hear more on that.
