Scaling Agile

Who is this Space for?

This space serves organizations practicing Agile Delivery with multiple coordinated teams:

Primary users:

• Portfolio/Executive leadership — managing strategic themes and epics
• Program Managers — coordinating the Agile Programs, Program Planning, and cross-team dependencies
• Product Managers — prioritizing features using WSJF prioritization at the program level
• Scrum Masters — managing team sprints, facilitating retrospectives, tracking burndowns
• Agile team members — working user stories, participating in Program planning breakouts, voting on retrospective items
• Business Owners — assigning business value to Program objectives

Organization profile:

• Companies with 5-12 scrum teams operating under a single Program
• Teams following synchronized sprint cadences (all start/end together)
• Organizations running quarterly Program Planning events (typically 3-day sessions)
• 
  
• Enterprises needing traceability from strategy → execution across multiple teams

Managing scaled agile across multiple teams is complex without proper tooling. Before this solution, organizations struggle with:

• Fragmented planning: PI planning sessions lack a unified workspace connecting strategic epics to team-level user stories
• Dependency blindness: Cross-team dependencies get lost in spreadsheets or verbal handoffs, causing delivery delays
• Sprint misalignment: Teams operate on different cadences, making coordination and integration difficult
• Disconnected hierarchy: No clear traceability from portfolio epics → program features → team user stories
• Manual scheduling: PI planning logistics managed through email chains and separate calendar tools

This solution provides an integrated structure connecting portfolio, program, and team levels in one platform.
