Scaling Agile With a Super-Effective Global Delivery Machine
summary
A global program of 1,000+ people, 70 teams, 10 time zones moves from component teams to cross‑functional feature teams and finally to Agile Release Trains to match kickoff, pre‑launch, launch and support phases. The change process uses five steps: surface ranked pain points, design the new team structure, execute the transition in days with heavy communication, inspect and adapt. Practical moves include pushing to master with any dev approving PRs, slicing features small, team ownership of production, cross‑site code reviews and end‑of‑day handover emails.
