Samsung's 10 year incremental improvement journey with Agile
summary
Ten years of incremental change inside Samsung SDS leads to a concrete claim: continuous, small experiments (XP practices, continuous integration, Scrum, Disciplined Agile Delivery) plus a co‑sourcing pairing model produce usable products and cultural change. A 2015 launch of ACT grows from a few roles to 70 coaches, product managers, designers and developers, builds SW MVPs and internal coaching, and ships Angel Talk app for children with German syndrome (three design awards). Company starts with ~30 conflicting methodologies and moves toward measurable lead‑time and user‑feedback improvements.
