Lean Development and Agile Methods for Large-Scale Products: Key Thinking and Organizational Tools for Sustainable Competitive Success Increasingly, large product-development organizations are turning to lean thinking, agile principles and practices, and large-scale Scrum to sustainably and quickly deliver value and innovation. However, many groups have floundered in their practice-oriented adoptions. Why? Because without a deeper understanding of the thinking tools and profound organizational redesign needed, it is as though casting seeds on to an infertile field. Now, drawing on their long experience leading and guiding large-scale lean and agile adoptions for large, multisite, and offshore product development, and drawing on the best research for great team-based agile organizations, internationally recognized consultant and best-selling author Craig Larman and former leader of the agile transformation at Nokia Networks Bas Vodde share the key thinking and organizational tools needed to plant the seeds of product development success in a fertile lean and agile enterprise. Coverage includes <ul>
<li> Lean thinking and development combined with agile practices and methods </li> <li> Systems thinking </li> <li> Queuing theory and large-scale development processes </li> <li> Moving from single-function and component teams to stable cross-functional cross-component Scrum feature teams with end-to-end responsibility for features </li> <li> Organizational redesign to a lean and agile enterprise that delivers value fast </li> <li> Large-scale Scrum for multi-hundred-person product groups </li> </ul>
In a competitive environment that demands ever-faster cycle times and greater innovation, applied lean thinking and agile principles are becoming an urgent priority. Scaling Lean &amp; Agile Development will help leaders create the foundation for their lean enterprise–and deliver on the significant benefits of agility. In addition to the foundation tools in this text, see the companion book Practices for Scaling Lean &amp; Agile Development: Large, Multisite, and Offshore Product Development with Large-Scale Scrum for complementary action tools.

The Go-To Resource for Large-Scale Organizations to Be Agile Rather than asking, “How can we do agile at scale in our big complex organization?” a different and deeper question is, “How can we have the same simple structure that Scrum offers for the organization, and be agile at scale rather than do agile?” This profound insight is at the heart of LeSS (Large-Scale Scrum). In Large-Scale Scrum: More with LeSS, Craig Larman and Bas Vodde have distilled over a decade of experience in large-scale LeSS adoptions towards a simpler organization that delivers more flexibility with less complexity, more value with less waste, and more purpose with less prescription. Targeted to anyone involved in large-scale development, Large-Scale Scrum: More with LeSS, offers straight-to-the-point guides for how to be agile at scale, with LeSS. It will clearly guide you to <ul>
<li>Adopt LeSS</li> <li>Structure a large development organization for customer value</li> <li>Clarify the role of management and Scrum Master</li> <li>Define what your product is, and why</li> <li>Be a great Product Owner</li> <li>Work with multiple whole-product focused feature teams in one Sprint that produces a shippable product</li> <li>Coordinate and integrate between teams</li> <li>Work with multi-site teams</li> </ul>
