• When large companies hear about Agile – the thoughts
usually envision cowboy programming with little documentation
• “It can’t work because we use ____”
• “Our company adheres to SOX, HIPAA, FDA, CMMI, or…(insert
compliance here)”
• The truth is adopting Agile techniques still observes compliance yet
makes your software development efforts lean.

First – Don’t do it Alone
1. Look at your organization and see if they are
ready to commit and to realize the benefits of
a scaled Agile adoption will bring
2. Partner with someone who knows how to do
this
3. Seed your teams with people who already
have Agile experience
4. Establish a Steering Committee (Center of
Excellence) to map the way
5. Train the leadership roles first – at each level
6. Find your Value Streams
7. Build your teams
8. Plan, Execute, Reflect, and Deploy
