Teams are ideally persistent, connected and stable. This ideal of working in agile teams is severely challenged as the number of teams in an organization grows from the first 10 frontrunners to 100s then 1000s of teams. Leaders that don’t sense and respond to these challenges will struggle with delivery, which will existentially challenge teams and agile ways of working.

Be prepared. This talk will give you a toolkit to identify and overcome the most common challenges encountered when establishing, growing, running, and continuously delivering value through 1000s of teams.

Special attention will be placed on the challenges that result in extended lead times to value delivery.
* how do we keep sight of value, and the many teams delivering it?
* how do we deliver in a timely manner when value streams cut across many teams and multiple business units?
* how do we enable fast flow of value through teams?
* how do we ensure that critical teams remain funded?

This talk is for you if: you report to the CFO and are tasked with funding agile teams, you’re an agile coach struggling with growing and running teams as agile ways of working scale to 100s or 1000s of teams, a product owner frustrated with growing lead times, a scrum master constantly fighting escalations to re-prioritise work, and anyone wanting to work effectively with lots of teams.
