Scaling delivery management for 50 teams
summary
Scales delivery management for 50 teams using a three-part model: minimum delivery service coverage (metrics, health checks, planning, backlog management), ad hoc deep dives triggered by data, and self-service tools (easyBI dashboards, Jellyfish, Confluence how‑tos). Fifteen delivery managers monitor Dora, flow and product metrics, run targeted coaching to fix recurring dependency bottlenecks, reduce WIP and restore throughput, and run an Agile Leadership Academy to upskill tech and product leads so improvements stick.
