summary
Argues that the real failure in scaling Agile is mixing platform work with product work and proposes splitting platform into an R (research/reference) team that stays a sprint or release ahead and a D (development) team that embed dev squads into product teams to do the integration work. This Scrum everywhere pattern minimizes large batches and handoffs, improves architecture learning and reduces late defects, but requires portfolio funding alignment and heavy continuous integration with automated tests or cycle time suffers.
