Organizational Inspect and Adapt for a Rapidly Growing Product — Six Months of Scrum@Scale in SmartHR's Labor Domain: Realities and Prospects
summary
SmartHR rolled out Scrum@Scale across 16 teams in five areas over six months to enable organization-level inspect-and-adapt; they achieved better progress visibility and cross-area support and established an EM cycle, a PO cycle, and a centralized technical-strategy project. Remaining issues include a reporting-heavy MetaScrum, unresolved impediments, and stalled long-term technical debt due to no dedicated resources; planned changes are splitting progress versus strategy in MetaScrum and piloting a 20% rule for teams to work on technical debt.
