Course Overview
Scope on coordinating multiple agile teams expands through small agreements made in isolation. Most recovery effort on agile teams is spent on problems that were visible early. The version of this aspect of project and portfolio delivery described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in coordinating multiple agile teams rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. It concentrates on the parts of the wider project and portfolio delivery agenda that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. Across sectors, teams that rehearse agile teams outperform teams that only plan it. They acquire practical criteria for judging when coordinating multiple agile teams is working and when it is only appearing to. The programme works equally well for those formalising agile teams for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Work concludes with a self-assessment of this area of project and portfolio delivery that participants can repeat annually.
